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.

This is a photograph of a Moss rose. 'Josephine de Beauharnais' was an Alba and/or a HP.

That is probably true, I was wondering as well, but then the rose is mislabelled in the Roseraie du Val de Marne (Hay).

Vintage Gardens of California has also sold this rose (imported from Loubert) as Josephine de Beauharnais. Like the photo from Roseraie de l'Hay, it is very mossy, and unlike the published descriptions, it has deep crimson flowers. Although the attribution (by both Loubert and l'Hay) is possibly a misnomer, it is a fine rose and any further information about its identity would be appreciated.

Yes, I purchased mine from Vintage and mine is a moss, dark pink. Magenta. At first I thought it could be Eugene de Beauharnais but it doesn’t resemble it at all. Not in the buds, foliage or prickles. It’s a beautiful rose, whatever it is, for now, mine stays labeled as Josephine with a question mark after it.
