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.

Breeder's notes:
This has been growing in my test garden now for about 7 years, its exact date of breeding is uncertain. (I didn't keep the best notes in those days) It prospers in a part of the garden that no longer receives any spraying, maintenance or supplemental watering. In rich soil and with good care this will make a spectacular specimen. Bear in mind that it is a Spring blooming variety only; no repeat later in the season. In the 7 years I have been growing it, it has had no diseases of any kind.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).

This rose is occasionally available from Rogue Valley Roses.
