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.

If the photo in the 1957-58 Kordes catalogue is any indication it looks like the other photos here of 'Dorothy Goodwin' show a reversion to 'Peace'.

Is this rose still being sold in Australia? Does it still grow in any Australian garden?

I don't know but I'd say not. I just came across the old photograph randomly looking for something else and thought it was interesting enough to post.

I note that it wasn't in Kordes' catalogue of 1962 (if I recall correctly) so it seems like it might have been an unstable sport.

This rose, also called Perfect Peace by you, was bred by my grandfather Charles Harry Goodwin and named Dorothy Goodwin after my grandmother. He owned a rose nursery in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire, UK.
