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.

Polstjarnan is 100% cane hardy in zone 2b, it is the most reliably cane hardy climber I know of. It gets very large, quite quickly. It has a light, pleasant scent.

I never had roses but need a thorny climber to cover horizontally across the top of my privacy fence to discourage people jumping over. I am zone 5 (northern Ohio) and need a HARDY climber that is DISEASE resistant and grows very long so I can train along the fenceline. I just don't want to be dusting and spraying constantly like I see my Grandma do with her roses for mildew and blackspot, etc. Is Polestar the one for me? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Altissamo-- the only cilmbing rose that Barry Coate, my UCSC hort instructor reccomends. It has a very long lasting bloom-single but large and a velvety rich red with yellow stamens. No fuss, plenty of color and dependable.

You might want to take a look at 'Antique '89'. It does have a reputation of being well-armed with thorns and was bred by Kordes.

Smiles,

Polestar has viscious thorns and thrives in Zone 3 (Calgary). I have seen it grow up past the eaves of a house here. No disease problems that I have seen.
