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.

This is a beautiful big blowsy Hybrid Tea. It deserves to be better known.

It will be. Cuttings will be distributed to Vintage Gardens and possibly Roses Unlimited this Spring.

Propagation material also supplied to Cool Rose at the request of Gene Waering.

Is President Macia thornless? I have typed the rose up but can find no reference to thorns.

Hi Patricia. Prickles are typical for a Hybrid Tea. Thanks, Robert

Thank you Robert. I have a red-wooded foundling which sounds so close to 'President Macia', but has thorns on the older wood to one metre, and absolutely none at all above this height. I will have to redirect my search to 'Elli Knab' and 'Jonkheer J. L. Mock'.

Information as provided by Gene Waering 4-23-07


"Description from the Hennessey 1949-50 catalogue.

PRESIDENT MACIA -- A very different rose, of delicate shell pink with a deeper reverse to the petals. The graceful big bud opens in an unusually large bloom with airily waved petals, like a super-waterlily. This is a rose for warm to hot climates, and the bloom can stand unlimited sun. The bush is strong and vital, of splendid shape and clothed with firm foliage. The blossom also are notable for the splendid thick smooth substance of the petals. Delicately fragrant a fine rose becoming known and much admired. When it gets hot it develops copper and gold tints that make the big bud breath-taking. . . . .. .$1.50"
