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.

A highly black spot resistant breeding line derived from R. wichurana “Basye’s Thornless” (black spot resistant)—J06-20-14-3 (J14-3) according to Dong et al., a moderately resistant cultivar “Old Blush” (OB) and three susceptible cultivars with excellent ornamental characteristics—“Little Chief” (LC), “Red Fairy” (RF), and “Vineyard Song” (VS) were used to generate the three diploid populations (2n = 2x = 14) for linkage map construction

[From "Faux Kin", by Jim Delahanty, pp. 19-25]
‘Red Fairy’ acquired its name by virtue of a perceived similarity in growth habits and other traits. While the parentage of ‘Red Fairy’ is clear in the statement of its patent application, that stated parentage is clouded by doubts as to the possible outcome of such a cross. As reported in the patent application, the parentage of ‘Red Fairy’ is recorded as a cross of the miniature ‘Simon Robinson’ with itself. However, per the discussion on www.helpmefind.com, it would be nearly impossible for that combination of single roses to produce the double bloom, red flower clusters that identify ‘Red Fairy.’ But whether ‘Red Fairy’ stems from a cross of ‘Simon Robinson’ with itself or an unknown, it does not resonate with the roses comprising the parentage of ‘The Fairy,’ a union of ‘Paul Crampel’ x ‘Lady Gay;’ ‘Paul Crampel’ derives from the ‘Orleans Rose’ line of polyanthas and ‘Lady Gay’ from the wichurana line of ramblers. ‘Simon Robinson’ is a cross of a wichurana with ‘Floradora’ and ‘New Penny,’ a cross of two Ralph Moore breeding roses, ‘0-47-19’ and ‘Zee.’
