Question: I try to print the info on each rose I buy. You give such good info and it helps me do right by my roses. But when I try to print out the Description page, I can't get rid of the index column on the left so the right side is cut off. What can I do?
Thanks ahead of time. I know you have almost all the answers and I really appreciate what you're doing.

It probably has to do with the browser you are using. Here is what the print looks like with my IPad running Safari:

Chrome doesn't print the index column either, but Microsoft Bing does.

Chrome on my desktop prints the index column ... but it also wraps the text and images properly so nothing is cut off on the right side. Maybe the difference is mobile versus desktop?

Chrome does for me

Are you logged in?
Just a quick check and I can see the css file for print
www.helpmefind.com/css/minX/hmf.prt.1.6a3e5baffc9605f5fffc79cb6389affe.minX.css
doesn't render on the page when not logged in (checked in multiple browsers)

Another factor to look into is if it only renders for subscribed (supporting member) accounts.

Being logged in or not doesn't seem to make any difference for me in Chrome. Either way, it seems to wrap the text and images correctly. Windows 10, Chrome version 111.

The easiest way, maybe, is to take a screen shot on your computer and then crop the image to what you want to include.

Ordered one online, didn't come with a label so mystery around identity still remains. Have emailed the propagator to see if they can shed more info.

Foliage size is similar to the drift series (eg Peach Drift), so presumably a similar cross of a wichuraiana derivative and a mini.

Didn't find thorns on it (including under the leaves) but possibly too early to say if they'll come with a more mature size.

Just bought a Mini Cherry from Bunnings (Photo, with tag uploaded). This one does have a few thorns, below the flower clusters. A very pleasing pinky-red shade.

For a HT I like this rose. Nice fragrance (lemony but not overly) and bloom form, has many of the usual issues HT's have here in Sydney though, petals tend to fry in summer, if it's humid flowers tend to ball, etc. It does well in early spring and fall though when the weather is far less harsh.

Despite no children listed for this rose, it is at least reluctantly fertile. It was in bloom at the nursery when I bought it, that single bloom set a hip and there has been germination....but it set no other hips in it's first season here, most HT's don't like setting hips for me though.

-edit- I spoke too soon, may just be the heat that was preventing hips, as have had no issue with hip set once the temps dropped a bit.

How has the disease resistance been in Sydney? I note one retailer rates it only 2/5 for health, but I'm hoping that it is better so that I can put it in my no-spray garden!

I don't spray, it survives, there are far worse out there.
Realistically it's unlikely for rose that's ancestry is just older Hybrid Tea's for generations is going to have great disease resistance.

Has flowered a lot, has not set hips, so probably not one to use as a seed parent.

-edit 5/May/2021 - and much like the other new kordes I got, it is now setting hips in the late summer and autumn period. First ripe hip only had 3 seed, none of the hips are particularly large but it's setting them at a fairly useable rate if the seed are fertile.

Mine has at least six OP heps currently.

As for using it as a pollen parent it produces a lot of pollen so I see it being useful in that way also.

Update: OP Seeds are starting to germinate at 2nd of October, 2023. It does produce large seeds and looks to have a relatively good germination rate.
