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.

From The Rose Book, 1864. Yellow Noisettes, Shirley Hibberd.
Among the yellow noisettes there are a few which will thrive anywhere, and require very little care to ensure an abundant bloom, but these are not the kinds that the rosarian gets excited about. Anybody can grow Ophirie; if never pruned at all it will always grow neatly, and cover itself with flowers. So will 'Jaune Desprez'....

p98. Rev. Joseph H. Pemberton. Recollections.
Angers was at that period a noted place for Roses because in addition to 'Aimee Vibert' and 'Lamarque' and several others, Ophirie and 'Solfaterre', both grown by my grandmother, came from Angers. 'Ophirie', introduced in 1841, is also a noisette, unique in colour, a sort of reddish copper, very vigorous, one of the advanced guard of weeping standards.

What has become of those lovely old Roses 'Celine Forestier', 'Lamarque', Ophirie or 'Jaune Desprez'. Perhaps in some old gardens they are still to be found.

Countess Senni, Italy.
Ophirie is such a free autumnal that I am thinking of planting it as a bush in shrubberies.

Walter Easlea. Autumn Flowering Climbing Roses.
A glorious old Rose is flowering quite freely as I write (October 24th), and that one is Ophirie (Noisette). It is running up an apple tree here, and its buff and salmon flowers are charming as much for their irregular shape as for their colouring.
