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.

It is very common here in Europe. It looks beautiful, blooms all season and needs no pruning. Its vigorous growth can be limited by use of the hedge trimmer. She (a rose must be a female!) does not like high temperature though.

Oh my no, if a rose is named after a man, it is just certainly not going to be a "she".

It the white sport of Pink Grootendoorst, and has Dianthus (carnation) like petals. The blooms are very double in large clusters. It doesn't form hips like most rugosas.
I think it smells great and is a good repeater.

Interesting! I've had the original sports' parent, F.J. Grootendorst and Pink Grootendorst. I find them to have virtually no scent. There'd be an awfully lot of angry customers if a nursery sold these roses as "strongly scented". (Heehee) Even 'Peace' is more strongly scented to me than any of the Grootendorsts, although I do find Fimbriata (the better fringed rugosa) sweetly scented.
