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.

New for 2025 - Ordered from Wekevia Foliage
20 FEB
Most David Austin roses don't prefer my climate and perform poorly for me in my Jacksonville, FL (9b) garden. This rose is an exception! It still prefers cooler summers and he is also susceptible to black spot here but he really blooms his head off all year long! He does need very rich, well drained soil with lots of water to be at its best most of the year. He also requires as much sun as you can give him - he doesn't tolerate much shade at all. I have an own root rose that's planted at the front corner of my house. Below average thorns! I will always have this rose in my garden despite the extra care he takes because its just always in bloom AND is highly scented!
AD is now my favorite DA rose! His first bloom opened for me today in my garden. He is beautiful and smells amazing. I'm in love! He is a must-have rose if you're an avid DA collector.

Planted in Fall 2021, so 2022 is first year with blooms. Not that prolific as a bloomer for me, but I think it's too crowded. Beetles LOVE THIS one!
