'Jayne Austin' rose Description
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.

Here's some input from someone who grows 'Jayne Austin' in Texas: The height listed for Jayne Austin is accurate for those areas which have short growing seasons. In climates such as San Antonio, Texas (where I live), it can get five to seven feet tall. The shape of the bush, which in my garden was tall and arching, nonetheless allowed it to fit into a space for which it might otherwise have been too small. It is also reasonably winter hardy, and the fragrance is wonderful.
