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.

Gonna guess White Licorice x (Perfume Perfection x Crystalline).

Probably accurate but introducers rarely release parentages anymore, which is honestly sad. People deserve to know where the things they have come from.

This rose was introduced only in France? Where is Bedard working now?

Agreed about hiding parentage. We gardeners need this information to help us evaluate the suitability of cultivars for our own gardens. Texas is not Maine.

Read the DA website and you might think every English rose can be grown at least to zone 5, which I can tell you is simply not true.

Ive noticed a trend of Weeks doing intros in both France and UK, often with new names. Sometimes they are mainstays, and sometimes these are non-North American tangents. However, sometimes the latter shows up here at a later date by smaller producers like Spring Hill. I think Weeks looks at it like business isn't like what it was, so it's time to proliferate where it can.

Of course it is important to those who follow HMF, but I’d bet 99.9% of consumers don’t care, so the producers have no incentive to reveal parentage.

While its true that Home Depot and Lowe's probably do more for rose culture by simply existing than the current rendition of the ARS does, that does not make it right in terms of knowing what is in something we "consume" or for historical context. That's on them. Not us.
