    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.

    After a 18 month trial with this on bud graft, I’ve finally reached a verdict of a full experience. It seems to have an issue with Blackspot and by mid season, it’s already naked. Easily loses foliage and does not recover quickly. Also, it has been stingy with blooms, only have had 3 flowers fully open in 18 months. Not very vigorous or willing to try to outgrow the rapidly like many others.
    I believe the name is very deceptive, as it’s far from “black” shades. A superior specimen would be Oklahoma or Chrysler Imperior, as they both have much better resistance to rain, Blackspot and Mildew.
    The fragrance is extremely light, and most of the day is nonexistent.
    I strongly suggest to choose something else for a better “black” effect, vigor, and stronger fragrance. Papa Meilland is somewhat similar and a delicious fragrance.
