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.

You need a dry warm spring for this rose to perform well, as its buds tend to ball before opening in damp weather. When the blooms are perfect, they are gorgeous. Most years they are less than perfect and I've actually considered shovel pruning this rose. If you are in a more hot dry climate, this would not be an issue and don't hesitate to try it. I would say this rose is misclassified. It is not a rambler at all, or at least for me, but acts like a small climber. Would be good for people with limited space and had no room for roses that get 20 foot long canes. This has stayed at a manageable 8-10 foot range.
