'Omer Pascha' rose Description
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:
Probably dedicated to Omar Pacha (November 24, 1806 Jasenica near Ogulin - April 18, 1871 Istanbul), Commander-in-Chief of the Ottoman army, who routed the Russians at the Battle of Evpatoria (February 17, 1855) in the Crimean War. Born as Michel Lattas (or Mihaylo Latos) in Austria-Hungarian Croatia, he defected in 1828 to Ottoman Bosnia and took the name Ömer Lütfi.
In 1853/54 both Pradel and Laffay issued a Bourbon rose 'Omer Pacha', slaty purple and scarlet-crimson resp. The soft pink version in L'Haÿ and commerce may be an early mislabeling (1899).
