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.

Rosa Marquess Boccalla’
Described as a Hybrid Perpetual in contemporary literature.  Dickerson classifies it as a Damask Perpetual.  ‘Marquess Boccalla’ has very pale, flesh-coloured flowers and a dwarf habit.  It was recommended as a continuous bloomer in The Gardeners’ Chronicle.  [Paul (1848, 1863), Gard. Chron. 1851]. ...
 
History at Camden Park
Included in a handwritten list of roses dated 1861, probably intended for a new edition of the catalogue that was never printed.  [MP A2943].
  
Notes
This rose has a number of synonyms, all variations of ‘Marquess Boccalla’, such as ‘Marquise de Boccella’.

Rev. Douglas T. Seidel: Leonie Bell. Rose Sleuth.
Leonie even sparred in print with eminent British rosarian Graham Stuart Thomas over 'Jacques Cartier', that variety's third commercial name in 15 years. She maintained correctly that this rose was 'Marquise Boccella', a very early Hybrid Perpetual from 1842. [In one of the early journals of the Heritage Rose Foundation, Charles Walker identified this rose as 'Marchesa Boccella' - Ed.]

Marquise Boccella (Desprez/Cochet, 1842). Damask perpetual

Unfortunately, Pergolèse (Moreau et Robert, 1860), Comte de Chambord (Moreau et Robert 1860), Marie Robert (Moreau et Robert, circa 1860?), Jacques Cartier (Moreau-Robert, 1868), and Rembrandt (Moreau-Robert, 1883) all seem to be wrongly named.....Jacques Cartier is likely the Hybrid Perpetual Marchesa Boccella (Desprez/Cochet, 1840), despite a rather faint protest from Graham Thomas.

Mrs. Diana Fickling, Mount Waverley, Victoria. 
From a garden of approximately 170 roses, I have chosen the following varieties as the best performers.....Jacques Cartier (1868) & 'Comte de Chambord' (1863) - Portland Roses.  Under 1m shrubs of deep pink.  Highly perfumed and very old fashioned looking.  Excellent foliage.  Both a must in a small garden.
