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.

Peter Bamber. Review of the Newer Roses for the 2005-2006 Season.
'Dancing Pink' Henson 1993. Garden rating 7.6, Exhibition rating 7.7. 22 bushes, 9 reports. Some health problems. Light fragrance. Short to Medium. Canterbury - both plants have gone backwards this season. Waikato finds the colour similar to 'Sky Tower' but flower shape is different. Lots of bright pink blooms. Blackspot can annoy. Te Awamutu thinks it will make good stems, grows well and pretty healthy. BOP - great garden rose and wonderful large stems for showing. Extremely pleased with this rose. Marlborough says it is very floriferous for such a small bush and flowers last a long time, average repeat. Manawatu calls it a one day beauty, fair foliage, some show bench potential, upright and bushy, doesn't know what all the fuss is about.
