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.
What is the petal count of Parade? I'm concerned, because I live right next to the ocean, just north of San Diego, and the ocean breezes keep my temperature so cool that I can't grow any rose over a petal count of 40 (and that's pushing it). The pictures of Parade seem to suggest that it has a fairly high petal count, but I can't be sure. Otherwise, this would appear to be the perfect rose for me.

According to Botanica´s Roses, "Parade", a climbing rose introduced in 1953, has large, cupped shaped blooms, of 33 petals borne in heavy clusters.
How lax a climber is Parade? I know New Dawn is pretty lax (at least at first, anyway), but I also know many of its progeny are not.
Is Parade the sort of lax climber one could train along a low (3' high) fence, or would it always fight with you to try and grow taller and more upright than that?
