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.

Ca' Berta has supplied you with some lovely photographs taken, it seems from the background, at the Carla Fineschi Botanical Rose Garden. This rose is identical with one similarly labelled at the Sangerhausen Europa-Rosarium (which may well have received cuttings from Cavriglia). But is it 'Clotaria'? The excerpt from Eva Mameli-Calvino's "Le Rose Ibride Italiani" suggests it isn't. It speaks of a crimson rose. In the Stazione Sperimentale's Register there is a detailed description of this variety and again it is described as crimson. Hence the name 'Red Gruss an Coburg'. The light pink rose Ca' Berta photographed would not be crimson in any light or at any stage of its development. I would be keen to hear from anyone claiming to have a photograph of a crimson 'Clotaria' or knowing the whereabouts of one.

'Clotaria' has been listed only in the latest Sangerhausen catalogue, so your guess that it originated in the Carla Fineschi garden is highly probable, and that rose is mislabeled as you have explained.
