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.

Can anybody confirm on having seen viable hips on this rose?

The main page says "sets hips" but there are no photos of any hips, and no mention of hips in any of the references. Until we hear definitely that anyone's..... plant sets hips, we are changing that note to "does not set hips".

I think i found this rose in the Garden at Britz in Berlin Germany however this rose was at least 180cm high an about the same width. The Plant was growing havily suckers up to a distance of 150cm. I took one of these, which emerged in the nearby grass and it developed well in my garden. Either Glory of Edsell kann grow much bigger than described or there is a very very similar rose that grows bigger.

Feb.2010.
just discovered that description says "sets hips"! Mine definitely does not set hip. Now I am even more in doubt if mine is indeed Glory of Edsell, but still could not finde a better match.

My plant is grafted. Last summer, after being mulched heavily over newspaper, it grew very vigorously. Very tall canes to 1.5m and more, almost climbing. It has an occasional repeat bloom.

My plants grow on the northern and eastern side of my house. They are approaching 300 cm with the very long canes bending over elegantly as long bows. They don't get any fertilizer. They are suckering heavily. Occasional rebloom in autumn. This is middle of Germany
