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.

I've just been looking at my 'Caporosso' and I'd like to expand on your description. While it is true that it flowers only in the summer, it is still one of the longest flowering roses I know, being continuously and generously in bloom from late May till September. My bush is about 6 feet tall and 4-5 ft wide with no disease problems or dead wood. Of course it doesn't set hips or have interesting autumn colour and only the very slightest scent - the most unrugosa of rugosas - but it is a marvellous rose, surviving well under the dripline of a mulberry tree.

As you can see from the label at Roseto botanico "Gianfranco e Carla Fineschi" in Cavriglia this rose was bred in 1955 (and not in 1975 as reported in HMF); the earlier hybridization was confermed by Rolando Zandri, former Curatore of Roseto di Roma, who in 1969 gave the cuttings to Prof. Fineschi of this rose that was already present in Rome in 1962 when he started his job.

Wonderful work Bruna. We've put the date back from 1975 to 1955.

That is an error, nothing Russian about this rose; correct Italian is Rosso - red.
