"Crestline Mulberry" rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Notes:

Thank you to whom ever put this rose on Help Me Find! In the 80s, I belonged to the Corvair Club. Every Valentine's Day we would go to the club secretary's cabin in Crestline, Ca. One year, we went up for several days and spent some time wandering around town. I have always liked antique and junk shops, so when the Mulberry Tree Antiques came into view, we went in to browse.

I noticed they had an OGR growing beside the drive. I asked the shop owner about it and if I might collect some cuttings. He said he bought the place with the rose and didn't want it. He'd tried to scrape it off with a snow plow, salted it, dug it up and it continued to grow and flower. I took home rooted suckers and named it "Crestline Mulberry" because it was from the Mulberry Tree Antique shop in Crestline, Ca. It's been spread around for a number of years now. Leonie Bell studied it in my Newhall, CA garden and declared it must be of the "Bengal" type. Syl Arena offered it in his first rose catalog. He collected it at The Huntington Library in San Marino, Ca, where it still grew this past January (2010), and where it's been for over twenty years. Kim Rupert.
