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.

Break o'Day is a cross between an unnamed seedling and ‘Glenn Dale’ Both the flowers and the foliage are improvements over either of the parents and the rose has lost none of their hardiness.

'Break O' Day'. A robust plant, with large, double flowers of orange-apricot, shaded with lighter flesh tints. Fragrant. Good foliage; 50 petals. Promising.

Break o' Day Was badly drought stricken this season and did not show up as well as in its first year, but I think it will be quite satisfactory given decent conditions.

I tried out three of Brownell's "sub-Zero" strain - Anne Vanderbilt, Break o' Day and Pink Princess. The foliage of all three is exceptionally clean and healthy and very like that of Mr. Clark's Mariorie Palmer.
Break o Day: Also very promising. Blooms full and perfectly formed; petals a little short. Colour cream with apricot centre; nicely fragrant. A beautiful thing.

Break O' Day. HT. (The Brownells, 1937.) Propagation rights reserved. A robust plant with large, double flowers of orange-apricot, shaded with flesh tints; fragrant. Good foliage, 50 petals. It is remarkable for its strong growth, its fragrance, and for its huge clusters of flowers. A bedding Rose of exceptional merit. $1.50 each.

Mr. Allen A. Brundrett. The New Importations of 1940.
Pink Princess, Anne Vanderbilt and Break o' Day are three H.T. varieties raised by Brownell, of Rhode Island, U.S.A., and represent a new and very welcome break in constitution and habit, possessing what the Americans call " sub-zero hardiness." All three are fragrant, produced on very long stems, and should make excellent garden Roses... Break o' Day is orange-apricot with lighter flesh tints,and the petalage would be described as for Pink Princess.

R. Marion Hatton. New Roses in America.
Break o' Day is from the Brownells, and they call it a sub-zero H.T. The plants are very robust and the fully double flowers are an odd shade of apricot-flesh, somewhat like our climbing Rose Breeze Hill. If it is as winter hardy as claimed it will be welcome in cold sections, but I do not admire the flowers.
