'Jilly Jewel' rose Description
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.

Notes:
Jilly Jewel is clothed in dark green foliage that sets off masses of frosty, ice pink blooms. Long buds open into perfect, fragrant exhibition roses. The plant is upright and extremely vigorous, producing an abundance of both one-to-a-stem blooms and attractive sprays. This variety is used in cut flower production around the world. One would be hard pressed to find a rose, regardless of type, that could produce more bloom.
[Also introduced as Pearl in New Zealand, this was one of the new varieties added to the RINZ Rose Display Trial at the Auckland Regional Botanic Gardens in 1999.]
