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.

From where may I purchase this rose. I noticed someone near me grows it, but I don't find a source. Thank you for any updated info.

I expect I will grow it another two years before I make any decisions about its long term merit. Glad you like it!

The flowers remind me of Tradescant, a rose that Austin released without any hesitation. That said, Tradescant was a rather miserable grower for me, with rather weak and floppy canes. It did flower well, but the blooms browned horribly in the rather tepid sun of San Francisco. I can't imagine how they would fare in a hotter climate. Despite this rather dubious performance, Tradescant sold well for a number of years before being withdrawn from the market. Sometimes flower color trumps everything. I bet you'd find many folks willing to trial this rose for you, me included!

Its no coincidence that it has 'Tradescant' as a grandparent. :-)
