☐ POST COMMENT

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 pollen parent is listed as "Lady Mary FitzWilliam - in commerce as". I am sure Ducher would have had the real LMFW in 1895, not the current imposter.	REPLY

Beautiful photos of 'Antoine Rivoire' Billy. I have a similar foundling which came from the Great Southern area of Western Australia and believe it could be 'Antoine Rivoire'. Could I ask you to watch the plant of 'Antoine Rivoire' at Stirling Square for mature green hips and retained upturned sepals, as shown in the "Mrs. Frances Pickles" file.	REPLY

Mrs. H. K. Woodruff of Cocoa, Florida (Favorite Hybrid Tea Roses in Florida. The American Rose Magazine, May-June 1936) reported that 'Antoine Rivoire' "...is absolutely disease-proof, as compared to most Florida roses. It seldom 'thrips', which is most unusual in so light a rose."	REPLY

The Rose Annual (1913)
Roses in the United States
By E. G. HILL
Antoine Rivoire is largely planted and is growing daily in popularity; a bunch of it is a beautiful sight, its canes are long and stiff, its foliage ample, and the flower is lovely in colour and form; this is the variety travelling under the synonym of "Mrs. Taft"; the explanation of the synonym is that the bundle of Antoine Rivoire reached this country without a label!
