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.

Have tried this 2 times, once in the 90's and once again in the early 2000's. Never did either plant ever give me one bloom. But nice and vigorous!

Five years ago I planted this rose and will be removing it as it is a failure. Very vigorous, it throws out massive 3 metre growths each year like a vast and prickly octopus. I tie these down horizontally on wires. If I am lucky I might get five clusters of bloom, there is no repeating despite such a lot of growth. These bunches of flowers are larger than and average bush 'Queen Elizabeth' but it hardly compensates for the great size of the plant. 'Constance Spry' would make a far superior climber.
