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.

At its best in the spring when the color is quite unique...coral red stripes on an apricot orange base. It seems to lose its stripes in hot weather and become a solid dark smoky orange, not very attractive to me. The plant is healthy, bushy, blooms heavily and repeats often, having ideal floribunda qualities. Alas, that summer color doesn’t look good by itself and clashes with pretty much every other rose in the garden.

Even the Chili thrips must not like that odd dull orange summer color, either!	REPLY

Ben T, I agree with your assessment of the color, same thing in Albuquerque NM... BTW, Weeks Roses Hybridizer Christian Bedard said in his August 2023 ARS webinar that this rose seemed to perform best on the west coast...	REPLY

Anyone else's Frida Kahlo lose its stripes. I had stripe on my own root plant when I planted it 2 years ago but starting last fall I have only gotten solid orange-red blooms with absolutely no stripes.	REPLY

Probably my favorite rose from Weeks in recent history. Honorable mentions to Forever Amber, Burst of Joy, and Yellow Freedom.

Unlike many striped floribundas, it isnt junk, and it surpasses many striped floribundas as plants.

To compare it categorically to their previous striped floribunda that sold and did well, Scentimental, is has a much better-behaved plant. The foliage is shinier, and it blooms more. However, it is less fragrant and not romantic-looking.
