'Duchesse De Montebello' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

The Swedish Rose Society recommends Duchesse de Montebello for northern Sweden. In their 2002 Catalogue, Pépinières Loubert assign a date of 1824.

Louise Antoinette Scholastique Guéheneux (February 26, 1782 Paris - July 3, 1856 Paris), Dame d'honneur to Empress Marie Louise of France, married on September 16, 1800 General Jean Lannes (1769-1809) as his second wife. Jean Lannes was instrumental in winning the Battle of Montebello in Lombardy for the Napoléonic troops (June 9, 1800). He was appointed Maréchal of the Empire in 1805 and 1st Duke of Montebello in 1808.
