'Amity' rose Description

My HMF:

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:

27th Nov. 2011: Shows a bit of downy mildew... maybe 5% at this stage of the season. Suspect this may improve as it matues. No mildew seen here. Was eaten down to the ground by rabbits in the winter of 2011 and is steadily regrowing. Quite vigorous but eventual habit is not yet known. Predicting standard polyantha habit when mature. Grown when test germinating OP 'Alice Amos' seeds. Not a self due to its double flower form. 'Sweet Chariot' was growing next to it at the time the seed formed but it could have been anything really. Don't disregard the open pollinated hips. You just never known what you might get.
