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.

Heirloom says this rose has 4" petals? Is that true?

ARS states that the blooms have a diameter of 4-5 cm. Someone must have mixed up centimeters and inches. On photos with foliage, the blooms do seem smaller than 10 cm. Someone who grows this rose might have first-hand experience.

In 110 heat index, she is covered in blooms with a strong fragrance. In afternoon sun, the color does bleach to a dirty white but they are long lasting blooms, both on the bush and in the vase. The size of the blooms are three inches, sometimes a little bigger. This is comparable now to other varieties which normally have bigger blooms but get smaller in high heat. Own root, sandy soil with alfalfa compost.
