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.

My neighbor has this rose. Definitely not light yellow. Its a dark butter color. Not a chrome yellow, like most darker yellows. Its a different tone of yellow.

Mature size is average for its class. The blooms are above average size, and they sometimes have HT form.

I don't know if it is scented.

It does blackspot in her yard by July every year. I have watched it for years.

Vigor looks okay, but the stems looks kind of mean.

This rose does get attention from people. I like the blooms, but find the plant a bit disorderly.

I have Monkey Business and it hasn't grown above 6 inches tall which was the size when I bought it over 6 months ago, has BS, and has spindly growth. It hardly ever blooms. Right next to it is Honey Bouquet (which I purchased at the same time) which is about 3 1/2 ft. tall and is a bloom machine. Maybe MB doesn't like a very hot climate and this rose is for cooler climates? Don't know. I plan to SP it soon.

I think I am going to order this floribunda Monkey Business to plant Spring 2010. My only reservation is with it's pollen parent "Outrageous". For me, Outrageous was a total disaster of a rose with it's only redeeming quality a remarkably nice fragrance.
The pictures I have seen of MB look very nice. I like a floribunda with a high center form and I am always on the lookout for a good yellow rose regardless of the Modern Rose Class it comes from.
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed, LOL!!

MONKEY BUSINESS is now on Sale < less 20% >at SummerWinds Nursery for $11.99 in the Silicon Valley. I will try it, as yellow always adds llight to the garden and does bring out the other colors of roses so well.
