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.

What a fool of a name to give it. Confusing for novices who may think it's Quatre Saisons.

As we used to say in my computer marketing days: that's not a bug, it's a feature.

A little history... The name of this rose is a reference to the work of Antonio Vivaldi.

This rose is quite pretty, and definitely peculiar. It has the typical characteristics of both floribundas and hybrid wichuraianas. Its flowers are medium sized, in large clusters and of a bold pink colour, uniform and quite durable. Petals are small, thick and numerous; flowers last long and they hang on the plant until they're dry (but, even when dry, they maintain a pink colour). Alas, they're completely scentless. The wichuraiana background is evident in its foliage (glossy mid green, whit small leaflets) and growth pattern (many vigorous basals, that spread horizontally; canes are quite stiff and not easily trained).

Quite healthy, it generally holds on most of its foliage to the end of the season. It blooms repeatedly and quite abundantly, even though it sometimes fails to open flowers if not fed and watered properly

It can be trained as a climber, and looks pretty stunning if grown as this, but I think the best way to appreciate it is taking advantage of its lax growth as a ground cover, or placing it in a huge pot on a balcony, to be looked at from below.
