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.

Mine was short lived. I planted it last Spring in the ground in the sun as I do with my other roses and it was dead by November. A rose with known vigor is going into its place.

Maybe Parole as a fragrant very big flowered substitute?

Agree with Jay Jay on Parole. Saw that at Home Depot (grafted on Dr. Huey) in a tiny pot, with 4 HUGE blooms, and smell amazing. Parole bloomed well with our very alkaline tap water. A month later I came back, but we had a week-long acidic rain, so Parole broke out in blackspots, so I didn't buy it. However, that grafted-Parole was glorious in hot & dry weather in a dinky pot !!

Mine died also the summer before last. I thought it was my zone 5 climate, or maybe just me.

Gorgeous flowers on a puny plant. Maybe it needs to be grafted.

I remember seeing this rose planted several years ago in the rose beds outside the Tower of London. I was very taken with the beauty and "old fashioned" form of the flowers which were on nice straight stems. The flower color was a deep velvety crimson-red. I know it's available from Heirloom Roses in Oregon and will try to find space for one in my garden. I'll need a shoehorn, but I really want to see this beautiful rose again in person.
