'Sleeping Beauty' 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.

This new variety was developed by me under controlled conditions in a greenhouse in Rowley, Mass., by crossing the following two roses: a seedling, which was previously developed by this same breeding program but never introduced, of `Party Girl` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,598) by `SA Vaspark` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,799) as seed parent; the hybrid tea `MACgenev` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,279) as pollen parent ....photographs , taken from 6 to 7 year old plants as grown under shaded plastic in a greenhouse in Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Notes:
This fragrant, salmon-pink miniflora will wake you up and amaze you with its long-lasting blooms, both on the plant and in a vase. Fully double blossoms, 2 inches across, cover this bushy, compact plant throughout the season. Good form, vigor and disease resistance.
