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.

Stupendous fragrance on this variety. Reportedly grows tall (6-8 feet) here in Australia.

Am planning on putting a matured own root cutting of this in the garden this winter.
Are you happy with it? Does it have 17-25 or 40 petals (both were entered in the HMF description)?
You seem to be the only one in the comments that knows this rose the rest were discussing a mislabled one. I live in Los Angeles so hopefully will be able to get a "6-8 foot" bush here as well.

Tim,

I'm in the high desert here and this rose does very well. It reached about 6' here last summer. The blooms have at least 40 petals, nice color and (of course) great fragrance. Hortico got this one right. Now let's see if Mamy Blue and Charles de Gaulle are labeled correctly this year.

PS: Mamy Blue was labeled incorrectly. A replacement is supposed to be sent in the fall.

Available own root from Heirloom along with eurodessert collection. Forget Hortico.
