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.

I grew this rose as part of the Jackson Perkins 2005 test panel for fragrant Hybrid Teas. It soon became one my favourite of the four test roses. Sweet Freedom smells lovely and the bloom is a pristine creamy white.

What zone are you in? Winter protection?

Hi Diane,
I'm in Southern California, zone 9. We don't get a hard enough freeze that I need to protect my roses.
It stands up to out summer heat very well - I wish I could be more zone helpful to you.

I agree on this rose as well. It is a prolific bloomer and is turning into a rather large HT! Seems to enjoy my zone 7a sunny location. Very much a problem free rose! Although it compares (in my opinion) to the John F Kennedy, the Sweet Freedom has a much better looking set of canes than the JFK. Will be doing a hard prune on it this year to see how it does as I'm concentrating on shaping it this year. This was also part of the test panel.
