My HMF:

☐ POST COMMENT

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 grow David Barber in my "hell strip" between the street and sidewalk, by my mailbox. It survives tip hardy in my zone 5 Nebraska garden, and is totally no care for me. I don't spray, and the foliage stays clean. My three-year-old plant has put out very long but low arms of blooms in every direction, and I prune it back hard after blooming to keep it in bounds. It has very large clusters of thick white blooms, some of which die off early needing some micro-pruning or "crunching" of the dead flowers to keep the remaining cluster looking nice. Like all my Tantau roses, it's tough and vigorous, and repeats well in a full sun situation. It stays low, so it's appropriate to a mailbox garden, with the arms and clusters never getting above about 2 feet. The arms stretch at least 3-4 feet in each direction if I let them, making a wide base for the plant.

Highly recommended for an easy care hardy groundcover rose in a tough situation
