    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.

    FLS has lovely deep green foliage and non-stop lavender blooms that fade to a beautiful silvery color, and quite an upright growing habit which is fine with me because I didn't want it to sprawl anyway. I love the fragrance, it reminds me of the Blue Moon rose my mom grew when I was a kid. I will see how it does over the winter before I have an opinion on hardiness. I don't spray and it has been very healthy for me. My soil type is acidic, zone 4b and altitude of 5000ft.

    Editing to add that it survived my zone 4b winter with about five inches of good cane coming from the base. I'm happy with the hardiness seeing as I got it as a zone pushing experiment.

    I had alot of Blackspot with this rose - so much in fact that I shovel pruned it . Surprising given it's description . Do other people have the same experience?

    Yes, I too had major blackspot. Also small blooms, more like 2 1/2" and NO fragrance to my nose. I SP'd about 12 of them. Sure looks good in the J&P photos though.

    Just planted x3 and with my spray program no blackspot and that is saying alot after all of our recent rains followed by hot/high/humid temps!

    Should also be listed under 'lavender simplicity' - hard to find otherwise...

    I agree!

    Awkward isn't it ? Jackson & Perkins chose to name the rose 'Fragrant Lavender Simplicity' rather name it 'Lavender Simplicity'. Please check the REFERENCES tab and you will see the registration reported in the American Rose Magazine. According to the registration policy of the ARS, if Jackson & Perkins decides to list an official synonym of the rose as 'Lavender Simplicity', HMF will add the accepted synonym to the HMF database.

    I guess adding the word 'Fragrant' to the rose name must be a marketing kind of thing.

    Smiles,
