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.

An earlier post by Fredriik says that "I grow this one in Sweden". It states that the rose did very well in a cold winter minus 25-26 degrees. HMF has it as Zone 6b and warmer. Should a change be made to the Zone posted?

Has anyone grown this with its parent veilchenblau? If so, how close is the color? Is it really just as described, a repeating veilchenblau or was there some color sacrifice (ie. more pink\red) for the repeat blooming trait?

I'm interested to know, too. I'm sure that it takes a few years to achieve its color though. Veilchenblau, and its offspring like Bleu Magenta, Violette, and Rosemarie Viaud all take a few years to settle before their blue colors really show up. Before that they are quite pink.

Thank you. I've added the award. Perhaps Admin will add the date? My computer does not obey me when I sometimes try to add a date.

I grow this one in Sweden. The winter of 09/10 was extremely cold with minus 25-26 degrees for at least two weeks. Perennial blue did very well despite this. Completely unprotected, there was only very little that had to be cut back. Seems like a tough one.
