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.

So far so wonderful in the pacific northwest- coastal zone 9b/10a. Glowing salmon blooms and a lovely fragrance. Mine is a young plant and just 2 1/2 feet high so far. Very nice. No major pest or disease issues. Not particularly thorny. Nice foliage too. The flowers are slow to open up here in the cool area, so they are enjoyed for a week or more.

This rose survives remarkably well in my zone 5b garden with a little bit of winter protection.

I am gardening in central texas.

This is a beautiful rose and a handsome bush. It does benefit from a little shade. The fragrance is strong and the color changes are amazing to watch. It is also a relatively slow opener - so you get to enjoy it longer on the plant.

It will get spot if not sprayed regularly - and it will spread quickly. I found that using organic preventatives was sufficient, but you must be consistent in application or the fungus will get the best of this one.

4/15/2009 - Removed plant in 2009 because it did not thrive where it was planted. It clearly perfers some shade in my climate, but semi-shaded locations are at a premium here. It also does not set hips and all seedlings resulting from its use as a pollen parent were suseptible to mildew.
