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.

Given the classification of this rose, I wonder at its parentage. It lacks the limber trainable canes that I'm used to being associated with Wichuriana ramblers. The canes are stiff, thick and armed with some of the most wicked blood thirsty thorns I've yet to encounter in a rose. Its growth is more like a large awkward shrub. The flower are single and pretty, a bright cherry color followed by numerous deep wine colored hips in the fall. Of the John Clements roses I've tried, I like this one the best, although I've only tried his "ramblers", none of which ramble very much, but all have been pretty. I will have to add a photo of this one to the database this spring when it blooms, as a tribute to John Clements.

I have been to Heirlooms many times, prior to its new owners. I do not actually recall this rose standing out from the other ramblers on their giant archway. They all blend together on that thing. If I ever do go there again, I will inspect it closely to report for here. From your description, it makes me wonder if it is not from Dortmund or Red Max Graf, which they had giant specimens of.
