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 bought this in my continuing attempt to find rugosas that will do acceptably well in my area of Texas. I am removing this rose after 2 years as it is obvious that, like most rugosas I've tested so far, this rose does not appreciate heat. Foliage and flowers are typical of rugosas. Flowers have eye-catching color but do not last long. Mid-green foliage is generally clean. For me it did not get tall - just kind of low and spreading. I think this would be a fine landscape plant in a cooler climate.

Anne Endt is the only rugosa-type I've ever grown successfully here. Unfortunately I lost mine in severe drought about 10 years ago and have not been able to replace it. So... I occasionally try other options.

Have you tried any of Ralph Moore's three rugosa introductions. I think there were three, 'Topaz Jewel', 'Moore's Striped Rugosa' and 'Linda Campbell'. Moore worked in Visalia, CA, a place where the climate is similar to that found in most of Texas. LC is a very nice almost everblooming red which compares well with most red floribundas. TJ is, for me, one of the most beautiful yellow roses I have ever grown. The soft yellow color, the clean foliage, the spreading but restrained growth habit; I liked everything about TJ. I have not grown the striped rugosa.

I grew Moore's Striped Rugosa years ago. For me it was a tall lax plant that quickly outgrew the space provided. As I recall it was fairly vigorous and a bit on the wild side. Might be worth trying again if I can find a roomier spot. As a breeder, I've looked at TJ, but as a diploid that does not set hips I am a bit reluctant to give it space. The pollen has obviously been used with some limited success - so maybe better to move that direction rather than MSR. I've not heard of the third one so I'll look into it.

Thanks so much for the suggestions.
