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.

I would dispute the 'strong fragrance' and 'disease resistant' particulars in the listing. The fragrance is hard to detect unless the bloom is being warmed by direct sun. While it is black spot resistant, it's no better against mildew than most reds. By comparison to Chrysler Imperial (another red of the same era) it's slightly more resistant.

The bloom form of this rose is superb. It holds well in the vase and the flowers don't 'crimson' with age. Despite American breeding it seems to be lost to cultivation in the US.
