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.

Red Dawn (Rosa hyb.)- Sent to us by Robert Simonet of Edmonton, this rose is probably the hardiest of the pillar or climbing roses available. Canes reach a height of 6-7 ft. (180-210 cm or 1.8-2.0 m) and produce fully double, deep-rose-pink blooms of Tea rose quality. Best planted on a wall with an east exposure. Canes should be laid down and mulched over for winter protection.

Personal Correspondence: Robert Simonet to Percy Wright, Sept 2, 1952, Percy Wright fonds,

"The rose plant you mention (Red Dawn) is a hybrid of a Red Tea - Gruss an Teplitz or Etoile de Hollande on New Dawn. It has the same growth as New Dawn and is probably no hardier but has not yet been tested. Color is certainly better than New Dawn and I am also using it in many crosses. Like New Dawn it roots easily from green wood cuttings and sends strong shoots from the base at a very low angle. In this connection I might add that a plant of New Dawn has wintered here for the last five years and flowered well in early August 'til frost. The last 2 years I even did not hill that plant at all so there might be a chance to get something good as far as everblooming habit and fair hardiness are concerned from this wichuriana hybrid."
