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.
Green Rose, This rose, as grown at the Heritage Rose Garden & my yard (both in San Jose, CA) produces flowers with a pleasing spicy scent as opposed to the listing here that says "No Fragrance"
In 1936, when I was 12, I found several strange plants near an abandoned homesite in woods at Higgins Lake, Mi.: I showed my dad, & he excitedly exclaimed "It's a Green Rose !!" (His mother, living on a ranch in Nebraska, had been an avid rose collector in the late 1800's, & "had to have every new rose she could get")) I thought he was teasing - (didn't look like a rose to me)-- but he dug one up and it bloomed for several years in his garden in Detroit, where he proudly displayed it to one and all. It wasn't until 15 years ago when I began growing roses, that I saw pictures & knew it REALLY WAS a rare "Green Rose", not just an oddity, that I had found in the woods. It must have been hardier than the ones I have seen listed ( Zone 7), as my "find" was growing in Zone 5, and with noone to care for it !!!
I just saw this rose at a show. If I saw this as a stem, I might question, "Is that a weed"? But it makes a great companion in a bouquet. It makes the other roses glow and gives the bouquet an old fashioned feel. Although the description says "no fragrance", I would argue that it smells like baby powder mixed with curry. I guess you could say, I'm hungry for this rose.
