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.

The sales catalogue of Peter Lambert of 1938/39 includes following reference to the Hybrid Polyantha Cineraria:

Cineraria (P. Lambert 09) Small flower, single, in large bouquets, pale red with a white center, low growth, rich bloomer.

Sangerhausen also assigns Cineraria to Lambert. Where does the reference to Leenders come from? Miss Edith Cavell was bred later, but Tip-Top is one of the roses Lambert used very often in crosses.

Good question. Dickerson likewise lists Lambert, 1909, while Modern Roses lists Leenders, and probably has for a very long time. HelpMeFind will be corrected!	REPLY

I tracked the information about the 1934 Mathias Leenders 'Cineraria' to the American Rose Annual, 1934. The exact entry is:
Cineraria. PP. (M. Leenders & Co., 1934) Miss Edith Cavell X Tip-Top. Type, Britannia. Flower large, semi-double, open, lasting, slightly fragrant, carmine-purple with white center. Foliage small, soft. Vigorous, bushy; profuse bloomer.

For now we shall have to settle for two roses, the Lambert-bred Polyantha without a known parentage.
