'Pride of Oakland' rose Reviews & Comments
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'm finding Pride of Oakland to be a real find--in the intense heat, the rose's color washes out a bit, and the plan'ts growth is not at all precocious for me, but what it lacks in size and a well-shaped form, it more than makes up in near-constant bloom. Flowers are flat, small and cheerfully uncomplicated. This rose lived through shocking heat this year without any ladylike snits. We'll see what the winter does.

This rose is known for its remarkably large sprays.

Pride of Oakland is a wonderful garden/landscape plant. It flowers continuously here in the Los Angeles area, pushing out new flowers quickly and holding its color for a very long time. It's healthy enough that I've been using it in my breeding for several years now. It's a product of Pinocchio and China Doll, two wonderful garden types.
