'Hélène' rose Reviews & Comments
most recent 19 SEP 11  
Initial post 19 SEP 11 by Harald Enders
The typing of the name is wrong. The introduction name of this cultivar was Helene (without the accents) Cordes. It lost the "Cordes" already shortly after its introduction. Helene Cordes was the wife of the head of the Ohlsdorf cemetary at Hamburg, Germany, which hosted a rather prominent rose garden at the time of introduction of the rose.
