'John Clare ®' 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:

Arena Rose Co.'s Catalog 2000 says John Clare® has been described by many as the most floriferous of David Austin's roses. The cupped blooms range seasonally in color from light crimson in cool weather to deep pink in warm weather. This rose commemorates the British poet of the same name.

One of the roses (listed as 'John Clare') in the Rose Introducers of New Zealand (RINZ) 1998 Display Trial.

It was named after the poet, John Clare, for The John Clare Society in the UK.
