'Jane McGrath' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Seedling selection: ‘Bonica’. Approx 13 years ago, mature hips were harvested from ten 'Bonica' plants. The seeds were extracted and planted into a well structured soil of pH 6. Approximately 200 seedlings were produced and grown on for a further three years to mature plants. One plant displayed outstanding features and produced white flowers. Pollen was collected from this plant and applied to flowers of ‘Bonica’. The seeds produced were planted into fresh soil and yielded 70 seedlings. These seedlings were grown for two years and the candidate variety now known as ‘Rockliz’ was selected having outstanding characteristics.‘Rockliz’ has been budded onto multiflora rootstock in many thousands and has shown to be genetically stable.
