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.

Adèle Heu Gallica. Vibert 1816. The author cites several sources, including this description: "Flowers fine rosy purple, covered with white dots." Dickerson, himself, goes on to say: "The name of this cultivar, from Vibert's first commercial season, commemorates his recently deceased wife. We do not consider 'Duc d'Orléans' or 'Henri IV' to be synonyms of this cultivar." [Dickerson is an authority on Vibert.]

Gallica. Adèle Heu ('Duc d'Orléans', Henry IV') Vibert, France, 1816. Loosely doubled, fragrant, medium to large flowers with a center of gold stamens. The color is a bright purplish rose with lighter freckles. Named after Vibert's wife who died before seeing the introduction of her namesake rose.
Article (newsletter) (1996) Page(s) 46.
In the "Rosetum Gallicum" (1828), Desportes printed a list of all roses known at that period in France. Out of 2562 varieties listed, 1213 are Gallicas. Of these, Desportes gives no information about 332 of them, except their names. Of the rest 316 came from the Low Countries. The remaining 565 were bred by French raisers, of whom two stand head and shoulders above the rest: Vibert (97 varieties) and Miellez (212 varieties). These two bred over half the Gallicas produced during the Restoration. About a dozen of Vibert's Gallicas produced before 1828 are still with us. This is one of them.
