'Grand-Dauphin' rose Description

My HMF:

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:

This rose is attributed to Prévost by Boîtard, but Prévost himself does not list it as his own. It is very probably an older cultivar. 'Roi de Rome' as a synonym of 'Nouveau Triomphe' as mentioned by Boitard and others, is based on a statement of Prévost, who was actually listing mislabeled roses he had received.
Napoléon François Charles Joseph Napoléon (1811-1832), son of Napoléon, was proclaimed "Roi de Rome" at his birth, was briefly French emperor Napoléon II, and became Duc de Reichstadt from 1818 onwards.
