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.

This is among my best performing roses, and is very clean most of the time in my disease prone garden/climate. It's a heavy bloomer for me, I love it.	REPLY

I live in a place where powdery mildew is really abundant during Spring and Fall. This rose has not shown any signs of it for the past 3 years. So my experience differs. Btw, many a rose can be induced to get mildew in mildew places if stressed by drought or lack of nutrients.	REPLY

The linked patent states parentage as: Controlled pollination: seed parent unnamed seedling (Roseromatica x Heckenfeuer), crossed with pollen parent ‘Taneitber’ in May 1993. Hence, (Roseromatica X Heckenfeuer) X Taneitber.	REPLY

Thank you! 'Roseromatica' is most probably 'Roseromantic'.	REPLY

I wondered about that. I hope we can narrow it down somehow to be sure.	REPLY

So far, this rose has done well in my hot humid south Louisiana garden. It resists BS pretty well, and it grows vigorously. It has not been a big bloomer and its canes tend to break very easily. It will also grow them at wierd angles if the cane only partially breaks. It's a challenge for me to prune. Still, I like it though it is not one of my favorites, and it tends to be pretty low maintenance. The blooming may improve as it gets more established; it's only been in my garden for two years. So far, so good.
