'6-53-3' rose Description
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:
1953 Huntington Exclusive! EVERBLOOMING CLIMBER
Mr. Moore has donated a number of roses to The Huntington to support our fund raising. This is the first of them. The name was inspired by its code number, 6-53-3, which indicates it first bloomed at Sequoia Nursery in 1953. This is the product of an involved cross containing Hybrid Tea, Polyantha and Climbing Miniature. The plant is a large climber with double, bright yellow blooms which appear all spring, summer and into the fall. 1953 will make a wonderful rose with which to upholster a fence, or allow to grow into and through low trees. This is the pollen parent of Mr. Moore’s two lovely landscape roses, Golden Century and Sunshine Sally. The disease resistance is good, repeat bloom is excellent and the plant does get large! It’s an own root plant, so give it time to put on roots before it will want to climb, but when it does, watch out! It doesn’t require dead heading to encourage repeat bloom, which is a wonderful trait in a tall climber. May also be pruned harder to encourage use as a shrub.
