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.

Listed here as a floribunda, which it is not. It is a rambler and referenced in the Australian PBR document as a groundcover, however, it will reach very large proportions making it suitable for a pillar or an arch. Listed here as spreading to 80cm, however; I have had it spread to 4m here.	REPLY

According to the Australian PBR application, detailed information document (http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/pbr_db/docs/1996086.doc), the parentage of 'Summer Evening' is as follows: "Origin Controlled pollination: (‘The Fairy’ x seedling of R. wichuriana) by ‘Interrob’ syn Robin Redbreast. " I take this to mean ('The Fairy' x wich seedling) x 'Robin Redbreast'.	REPLY

Advertised here in Australia as being capable of covering 6m x 6m... not 80cm. Very vigorous ground cover, suitable for training as a climber/pillar/arch/etc. Very quick repeat here for me. Very clean once put in the ground. Hated being in a pot and objected by getting a dose of spot and defoliating. Not a trace now it's in the ground. Produces little pollen. Almost dense enough to suppress all weeds.

EDIT 1st Sept., 2010: OP seeds germinate easily. Might be ok as a seed parent.

EDIT 12th May, 2011: Seedlings nicely disease resistant. Worthwhile seed parent. Some seedlings suffered a bit from mildew. 'Summer Evening' resists black spot and powdery mildew well here and shows ok resistance to downy mildew. Needs to be kept up off the ground if you are to stand any chance of weeding under it. It is very thorny and doesn't like to let go. Do yourself a favour and grow it up a pillar or an arch!
