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.

Roller Coaster MACminmo. syn 'Minnie Mouse'. Modern, Miniature, red blend. Repeat-flowering. 'Roller Coaster' has striped red blend flowers that are really a beautiful random mixture of red, creamy yellow and white; no two flowers are identical. The florets are semi-double with 6-14 petals, have a light fragrance and tend to grow in small clusters of 10-12 blooms. The bloom cycle is fast with the fully open flowers being the most beautiful stage, providing a wonderful carpet of bold color mixtures. The foliage is small, mid-green and glossy on a tall, upright, vigorous plant. In semi-tropical climates this rose can grow like a shrub and has a gangly habit if left untended. However, the spreading habit makes it an ideal choice for containers, against a wall, or in a raised bed where it can spill over. This rose was popular in Australia, where it first appeared as 'Minnie Mouse'. Zones 5-10. McGredy, New Zealand, 1987. ('Anytime' x 'Eyepaint') x 'Stars 'n' Stripes'.

Roller Coaster [McCann writes:] once in California I saw Roller Coaster, the lovely red and white striped mini positively bursting toward the sky. In Europe the same rose is a robust plant but certainly not a climber.
