'Kaiserin Friedrich' 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.

Notes:

Sangerhausen describes the color of Kaiserin Friedrich as yellow/pink.
Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha (November 21, 1840 Buckingham Palace/London - August 5,1901 Schloss Friedrichshof/Kronberg im Taunus) was the eldest child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of England. She married 1858 Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Karl, the son of Kaiser Wilhelm I. of Germany. Her husband became Kaiser Friedrich III (see the rose of this name) of Germany on March 9, 1888 on the death of his father. Unfortunately, he died already on June 15, 1888 due to larnyx cancer. Following the death of her husband, Victoria was called "Kaiserin Friedrich".
