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.

'Sparkler' (POULcov, Kent) - Olesen, Denmark, a low growing compact shrub rose with a spreadliig habit densely covered in foliage and small white flowers. The flowers come in trusses are semi-double with a gold centre and are weather resistant. It is very aptly named as the whole effect is clean and sparkling. An ideal shrub to grow in perennial borders and containers as it flowers over a long period.

C.P. Horner, Awards to Rose Seedlings in Great Britain in 1990.
A Gold Medal and the President's International Trophy were awarded to 'Kent'. POUlcov, a Ground Cover Shrub by Poulsen, from Denmark. This followed the Trial Ground Certificate which it won a year earlier. Although classified as a Ground Cover rose 'Kent' does not have the low spreading habit of many of its class. It is more upright, growing to two feet plus in height, with about a two foot spread. The flowers are white, moderately full, very free flowering with some scent. Unfortunately its parents are not revealed. In the public vote for the roses which give the visitors most pleasure, 'Kent' was placed 4th over all. Obviously it was highly acclaimed all round. It was my top rose.

Kent, POUlcov (seedling x seedling) is a Ground cover, by Poulsen, with semi double white flowers which repeat well in late autumn. It has no scent but I rate it highly. Trial Ground Certificate to second year seedling.
