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.

Gloire des Rosoménes (Vibert, 1825), a rose of an earlier generation than the others, and to which it appears we are indebted for Géant des Batailles and many otherbrilliant roses with red prickles, such as Alfred K. Williams. Probably also Générale Jacqueminot.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses.
Giant of Battles
The flowers of this variety are extremely large in proportion to the size of the plant. The latter is dwarf with slender shoots, but the blossoms are full and heavy. The fragrance is sweet and continuous. The blossoms come upon the plant quite freely, and the stems appear heavy laden beneath their burden of fiery crimson color- a veritable burst of radiance that suggests the name of this Rose. Because the bush requires so little room, if for no other reason, the Rose-lover should have several of the plants growing in conspicuous places about the home.
