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.

Magazine (29 Aug 1897) Page(s) 155. Rose Charlotte Gillemot.—This Rose is one of the most distinct varieties that has been introduced for many years. It reminds one of a lovely flesh-tinted Camellia alba plena, and the petals are thick and perfectly arranged; the expanded flower is quite 4½ inches in diameter. It is said to be a cross between Lady Mary Fitzwilliam and Hon. Edith Gifford, and it partakes of the colour of the latter beautiful variety. The growth is moderate, but not at all weak. It cannot fail to become popular as an exhibition variety.

Magazine (1897) Page(s) 97. Includes photo(s). Charlotte Gillemot (Guillot 1894). Hybrid Tea. ..J.B. Guillot, the well-known happy rose breeder of Lyon, found out during a visit of Gillemot in 1886 or 1887 that his [Gillemot's] daughter Charlotte had such great knowledge of varieties and love to rose cultures, that he promised to dedicate on of his beatiful cultivars to her. The son of Guillot has fullfilled what the father promised. Miss Charlotte Gillemot can be proud that such a beautiful and valuable rose will carry her name. Due to her recent engagement to a Master Engineer in the Imperial Austrian Ministry she will be now quite far from the rose world, and the father Gillemot will not easily find such a support again. He had almost fully relied on her great knowledge and her good memory, and it is said that she had gained so much experience as to recognize any rose by its wood and prickles. She grafted annually 12000 roses in the glasshouse and cut 20000 roses of the business in spring.... The shrub is vigorous, very floriferous and repeats well. The branches are upright, with almost glossy green foliage. The buds appear after the 3. or 5. eye on long stalks, are long, ovoid, pure white. The bloom has a very regular form, cupped, form like a camellia, the individual petals broad, reflexed slightly inwards, the colour matte ivory-white with a light peach-pink centre. The fragrance is fine. The rose is excellent for exhibitions for all types of culture and for forcing in boxes and for cutting...P. Lambert
