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.
Article (magazine) (2017)
In its origins “Félicité et Perpétue” is a diploid hybrid between a recurrent-flowering rose, probably a Noisette rose, and R. sempervirens which is seasonal flowering. From the Noisette rose it inherited the disabled form of RoKSN and from R. sempervirens it inherited wild-type RoKSN. Both forms of RoKSN can be detected in shoot apices of “Félicité et Perpétue” but only the disabled RoKSN can be detected in “Little White Pet” (Iwata et al., 2012). This indicates that the mutation from “Félicité et Perpétue” to “Little White Pet” resulted from a deletion of wild type RoKSN.

Barbara Tchertoff, Antoine Jaques – Head Gardener to Louis-Philippe.
Félicité-Perpétue (Jacques, 1827). Award of Garden Merit. Professor Jay`s genetic analyses prove that this rambler is a sempervirens hybrid which shows traces of R. moschata and ‘Old Blush’. According to Jacques’ own description, this rambler has medium-sized flowers which are full, rounded (i.e.convex), and lightly flesh-coloured ( carné in French, often translated as “blush”) My own experience is of an extremely vigorous plant grown easily from cuttings, which can reach 4m (12ft) or more in height, inserting itself into any support. The cascade of clusters of rosette-shaped creamy flowers with their pink buds, contrasted with dark green leaves, is a superb sight during its 4-5 week flowering period.
...It has been suggested since 1900 that Jacques named this rose after his own twin daughters, but so far I have found no proof of twins, nor of children with these names. Anyway most French historians would find it out of keeping for the Head Gardener at that period to name a rose after his own family, considering that all the other ramblers were given Royal names.

Félicité-Perpétue ('Félicité et Perpétue') Climber... a good coverer of eyesores... This is one of several climbers raised by the gardener to the Duc d'Orléans (later King Louis Philippe), A. Jacques, using R. sempervirens, the 'evergreen' species rose. He is said to have intended to name the variety after an unexpected arrival in the family; when twin girls were born, their names were conjoined... the only rose in commerce named for two individuals...
