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 great little miniature here in Iowa (zone 5a). I wish more people would grow this one. Extremely hardy and needs almost no special care. Last year it was almost completely ignored but it produced some of the best flowers. The blooms are nicely shaped and come mainly one per stem but I did get a few huge candelabras from it too (about 15-20 blooms on a few of the larger ones). It is continuously in bloom - no down time even in the heat of late August!!! The blooms last a very long time in the vase if you like to bring them inside. It is a bushy little plant with dark green foliage. It is vigorous but keeps itself small. Disease resistance is very good - a little blackspot eventually but controllable. It has survived 5 cold winters with virtually no cover so I would definitely recommend changing the hardiness zone to at least zone 5a. The only complaint I have is scent but I can live without it on this one. An excellent rose.
