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.

"This magenta-coloured mutation of 'Merci' will add to the sweetheart assortment enriching the selection with another interesting variety. With impressive flowering and production qualities 'Chic' belongs in the top sweetheart group demonstrating convincing characteristics even under modest growing conditions."

Kordes website says it really is a sport of 'Merci', but is there another, newer one?

Edit: There is. It is called: KORamasti

"This velvet red rose should become one of the top sweetheart varieties in the future. The productivity, vase life, as well as the handling characteristics of ‘Merci’® are outstanding. Perhaps a name like ‘Red Frisco’® would describe this variety perfectly. This variety stands out by its excellent production and its extraordinary characteristics in cultivation, transport and vaselife. Merci can be regarded as red Frisco."

Oops, sorry. I wasn't clear. I meant in relation to this rose not being a sport of the Warriner version.
