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.

La Tenterelle (Belle de Parny, Parny), The flowers are a bluish rose with slaty shadings, large and full; upright habit and vigorous growth.
From Prince's Manual of Roses, 1846, p.61:
Hybrid China Roses.
La Tourterelle, Parny, or Dove Rose, is a large flower, of a crimson lilac hue, assimilating somewhat to dove color, whence its first and last titles : the growth is vigorous, and it soon attains a height of twelve to sixteen feet, and is well suited for a pillar rose, but it has been superseded, as well as the four preceding, by new varieties of greater beauty.

Remarks on the Colours and Properties of One Thousand Species and Varieties of Roses. By St. Patrick.
I have very frequently felt the want of a list of Roses, which should contain a description of the colour of the flowers, &c. This deficiency, I am pleased to say, I had most agreeably made up a few days since, by having a catalogue put into my hands of a thousand sorts cultivated by Mr. Wood, Nurseryman, Woodlands, near Maresfield, Sussex, and of Paris. The description in the catalogue pleased me so much, and afforded me information at once so useful and interesting, that I resolved on arranging the kinds alphabetically, which is not done in the catalogue, and forwarding the list for insertion in the Cabinet, believing it would be found of use to a great portion of its readers.
