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.

Is this once blooming?

I think so, it doesn't bloom on new wood. But, neither does Fedtschenkoana.

Its a strange plant. It sends out very prickly, arching canes with wrinkled foliage, then thornless laterals of blue and very fragrant leaves. Nice fall color. I see a bud, but I doubt it will ever open.

Yes Rob, it's once flowering. I've wondered if raising self seedlings may result in a repeat flowering plant, but I never tried it.

Jackie, iirc, had some repeaters in crosses with moderns.

That's good to know. I've received lots of DLFED 3 seeds from a generous source and hopefully there will be at least one repeat bloomer in the lot.

Hey, Robert! Did anything interesting come from those 'DLFED 3' hips I sent you? I also wanted to add that my 'DLFED 3' plant will have scattered repeat if deadheaded and pruned after hips start to form.

I was disappointed that I didn't get good germination and the ones that did were disease prone. I'd love to give it a try again if you find yourself with extra seed some time.

I ordered Dip-N-Grow -- I should finally be able to be successful propagating from my garden, so I'll make a clone for you.

Kim, or anyone else with this rose, how does the moss smell like?

The Fedschenkoana smell is from terpenes, so is the classic moss scent if I remember correctly. Also, the glands that produce them are often on trichomes even on the leaves (the funny Scarlet Moss leaves are an extreme example) rubiginosa has the same production area too. So, I presume the moss smells like the foliage. Am I correct in thinking so?

Also, I read that the sweetbriar trichomes are to prevent rust. Does anyone in Rust Country able to verify?
