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.

Listing last updated on Thu Jan 2025
Louis-Joseph-Ghislain Parmentier (August 9, 1782 Enghien - April 1, 1847 Brussels)
Enghien, Belgium
[From Rosetum Gallicum, by Narcisse Desportes, 1828, p. 124:] PARMENTIER, à Enghien, près Bruxelles (Pays-Bas).
[From The Old Rose Adventurer, by Brent C. Dickerson, p. 133: under the listing for 'Parmentier'] Louis-Joseph-Ghislain Parmentier, rosarian, lived 1782-1847; had a very distinguished collection of roses -- including many bred by himself over 30 years and kept to himself -- in Enghien, Belgium; after his death, at least some of these roses were sold off and distributed by others.
[From Roll Call: The Old Rose Breeder, pp. 389-390:] Louis-Joseph-Ghislain Parmentier, Enghien [Belgium]
Born August 9, 1782; died April 1, 1847.
Active by 1818.
... André-Joseph-Ghislain Parmentier, an important American garden architect, was another brother, as was Joseph-Julien-Ghislain Parmentier, quondam mayor of Enghien and fellow horticulturalist.
The catalog for the sale of Parmentier's roses, which occurred following his death, refers to 855 roses "of the first merit" bred by him, of which 800 had never left his garden... [it's quite possible other people introduced his roses as their own]
