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.

‘Ballet’/KORflot = Hybride de Thé… peu de roses à 50 pétales supportent la pluie aussi stoïquement… C’est un rosier robuste, de hauteur moyenne, au feuillage vert clair irisé de gris… ‘Ballet’, victime du marsonia, a vu sa popularité décliné. Kordes, Allemagne, 1958. RNRS Trial Ground Certificate 1956.

Ballett HT. (Kordes 1958) The German spelling is given as in the raiser's catalogue, though English and French growers list it with only one "t" - the Americans are not listing it yet. The colour resembles that of 'Mrs. Bryce Allan', but is a little softer. A fairly large proportion of the blooms split, but, when this does not happen, they are very fine though never huge. Excellent strong, clean growth.

Ballet HT. (Kordes, 1958) Clear, pure pink full blooms of exhibition  quality. Growth is vigorous and clean. One of the loveliest and most shapely pink roses that we have seen for some time. A future star performer.
