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.

My Crazy Dottie has been in a 15" diameter pot since June 2015, in a southern exposure (US hardiness zone 7b).. I bought it as a band from Heirloom Roses. It is now 20" wide by 18" tall. At another source I found it is predicted to grow 2' x 2', so mine is on track. The color is an odd orange pink which is what I love about it. I think the fact that blooms are single shows off the color better than more petals would. It is a very healthy looking shrub and blooms a lot. I don't spray. I do use organic ferts and amendments like compost, Mills Mix, seaweed, fish emulsion. I'm not as good about feeding as I should be but this little rose doesn't seem to care. I entered Crazy Dottie into our local rose show last May and was pleased when it won a best in class award. I'm not a serious exhibitor like most of the people who enter our rose show, but sometimes the rose itself does all the work!
Feb. 23, 2018- after a harsh 2017-18 winter in northern Alabama, many very cold nights, I lost 5 or 6 of my 13 potted roses (minis or floribundas); a lot of dieback on the others, including Crazy Dottie, but what is left looks healthy and has new growth.
