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've had this rose for 4 years in the ground. I've always noticed only a faint fragrance in the early morning and late afternoon/evening. I happened to catch a newly opened bloom in mid morning around 10:30am and it was very fragrant. In fact, the fragrance wafted a bit, as I could smell it walking up the driveway to the backyard. It was a very pleasant surprise.

Later that evening, I went to the same bloom, and it had only the same faint fragrance I always smell. Apparently, this rose has its strongest fragrance mid-morning, when the sun has been up for a while, but it's not scorching hot yet.
An alkaline clay person noted this for good bloomer.
