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.

On the Rose Hybridizers Association site I asked: "Someone should inform HMF the size traits of Lac Majeau for their areas. I noticed it was missing. I grew a relation of it once, Marie Bugnet, but I have a feeling MB is smaller in habit."

One poster answered: "Bonjour Pacificjade,
Here are some characteristics of my Lac Majeau plant. It is nearly 5 feet tall, the stems are grayish and 90% spineless, and no disease. It is very floriferous and slightly remontant. It is very fruitful and a very good seed producer. I got several seedlings that are not very spiny and even some completely spineless. On the other hand, I had less luck with its pollen but I continue to do tests. It is a trouble-free and superb white rose."

Corn Hill Nursery lists it as Zone 2. They list it as 2M. Rose Nursery Kalbus of Germany lists it as 1.5M to 2M, w/ 6-8cm blooms. Plantasjen of Norway concurs that it is near-prickleless.

The European sites stated fragrances that did not make sense from prior Canadian rugosa/briar hybrid types to my nose, so I disregarded those references as "lost in language translation". They do state that there is fragrance, but not if it is moderate of strong.

I hope this helps anyone.

I have been growing a Lac Majeau Rose for five years in Fairbank, Alaska. I have found it to be the most reliable and winter hardy in my garden. It is has the lovliest buds which are tinged with red, it's ever-blooming and sports big round red hips all winter long. Very fragrent, and disease resistant. My only complaint is that I haven't been able to find another. Is this Cinderella Ragosa the best kept secret known only to myself, or is there another admirer out there?

I grow Lac Majeau in my garden in the Fingerlakes region of central NY (Zone 5). It is my favorite white rugosa.	REPLY
