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.

Flower Size: 0.8in (2 cm)
Scent: Light & musky
Flowering: Repeats well
Height/Spread: 6.6 ft (2m)/6.6 ft (2m)

Native to Scandinavia, occasionally in Germany, unknown elsewhere. Distinctive flowers, so tightly cupped they appear bell-shaped and never open out. Said to be a hybrid musk, but is very different from others. buds are pale crimson, open to pink, darker backs, fade to white in heat. Do not drop petals, long airy sprays 20 - 40 flowers. In Autumn clusters are much larger, up to 100 flowers, long arching sprays. Healthy light green leaves, short prickles, tiny orange hips. Good pillar rose in warm climates."

Just uploaded a photo of Menja and inadvertently added a comment relevant to a previous upload. Could you please delete the bit about magnolia leaves?

Yes. I remember well that you liked Stirmer (spelling?) apples.
I am so happy that I did at least one tour in my lifetime with David Ruston.

Wasn't it great? But you are an inspiring teacher yourself.
