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 have this rose on order from Sequoia nursery which is closing it's doors this year. I've read in one of the ezine articles here that there are complaints that this rose does not rebloom. I'd like to hear who grows this rose and what results you have gotten from it. Even if it is a once bloomer, its an adorable rose from all the photo's I've seen. I'll have to report back how this rose does in my organic garden in zone 7.

Bob, in my experience 'Star Magic' produces some repeat, but only as the plant matures. I got no repeat the first few years. 'Star Magic' wants to get large in order to repeat and be happy.

Thanks for your response. I plan on giving this rose a spot where it can do as it pleases and get as big as it likes. Perhaps liberal fish emulsion over the years will get both huge bush size and some rebloom from it.

I'll be curious to hear how 'Star Magic' adapts to life in Virginia Bob, especially in terms of disease resistance. I'm guessing it prefers a warmer drier climate. I've never fed mine much as it is quite vigorous and quickly outgrew the space I had allotted for it. Please let us know how it fares for you there.

Be aware that this rose is quite prickly and will scramble through shrub and trees if given a chance.
