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.

Blooms are much larger and loose than I assumed they would be. The darker "discoloration" when they first begin to open is not really such a big deal, like the references seem to claim. Back then, anything remotely close to a purple tone was considered "bluing". It soon disappears as the blooms open and become quite deep in color. Foliage is on the slender side. Resistances seem average. Vigor seems okay for its class type.

'Mister Lincoln' is still one of the top-selling roses, and even it "blues," especially on the petal face as it ages. Yet, and quite obviously, no one seems to mind.

It always surprises me to see how often the Tantau HTs were used by other 20thC breeders. 'Tropicana' and especially 'Fragrant Cloud' seem to have been almost as popular for parents as was 'Peace' in an earlier generation.
