HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

[From "Why Heritage Roses?", by Dominique Massad, pp. 20-23]
Starting from a seed of Rosa filipes obtained from the Beijing Botanical Garden, I singled out the seedling which flowered the best. It was then crossed with Chinas such as ‘Sanguinea’, ‘Mme Laurette Messimy’ (Guillot fils, 1887) as well as ’Rosina’ [???], a hybrid of Rosa wichuraiana which had been sold as ‘Le Vésuve’. The desired traits have been achieved after more than 25 years of trials: ‘Gunsho’ and ‘Eridion’ for color, ‘Parc de Maupassant’ and ‘Château de la Mothe Chandeniers’ for their scent, ‘Château de Guillerval’ for the size of the blooms, and the reblooming traits found in ‘Rose delacroix’, ‘Belle de Sardaigne’ and ‘Rêve de Mireille’.

[From "My Adventure in Ramblers", by Dominique Massad, pp. 2-6]
All the first generation of crosses possess rambling traits, an excellent resistance to disease as well as a good color range, but none are reblooming. In order to achieve this, I continued with the descendants of ‘Thierry Simon de Kergunic’. In 1990, I crossed this variety with ‘Cornelia,’ a hybrid of Rosa moschata. The following spring (1991) one of the roses stood out by blooming early, with rambling qualities as well as being remontant. These qualities were confirmed in the years that followed with strong branching. The rose possessed all the qualities that were aimed for in a reblooming rambler. It was released onto the market and given the name of a landscaper from Angers, ‘Rose Delacroix’.
