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.

I love the color, form and fragrance of this rose. Its vigor and constant blooms are exceptional. HOWEVER, I had to shovel prune both of my McCartney bushes because they were always covered in rust. I did everything to get rid of the rust, but nothing worked. Nothing. I mourn losing these two favorite roses, but surrounding roses were showing rust. Heartbreaking.
Does anyone know of another rose with the same color and form?
I am in southern California, zone 10b. Has anyone else had this experience?

It is more black spot resistant than many HTs in Barcelona.

I had the same experience in very humid Arkansas. It isn't immune to blackspot, but the astounding vigor of the plant means that any infection is hardly noticeable.

Yes its vigor is amazing. I planted one bare root in March 2022 and now it’s 1.2m in height and 1m in width.

It's a massive plant and very floriferous. Ours passed 61/2 feet by its second year and is almost as wide. Moreover, it's densely foliated so it counts as one of the few hybrid teas that can really serve as an ornamental shrub.
