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.

Sad to hear that, such a beautiful rose. I STAY AWAY from suckering roses. I spent 2 hours this summer killing Le Rire Nias (Centifolia) for sending a dozen suckers into my lawn and my peonies. Merry Christmas to you, Jay-jay, my favorite person in HMF. I hope you have a fun Christmas & and a great spring flush next year.

I'm glad, it suckers, for then one might share, or have a healthy big bush!
I would want that more roses would sucker and cover the dirt.

That is very true, suckers help to share roses.

In a climate where roses stop growing over winter, that may be OK. It isn't in my Mediterranean climate (see for example photo www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.74538 ).
The Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens removed most of their own-root Gallicas, Spinosissimas and seed-grown species roses, because the more aggressive ones grew over the top of the others, and you couldn't tell which label belonged to which plant.

I can imagine a Botanical or display garden might do that, but in ones own backyard one might choose to let them intertwine, but prevent maybe a "complete survival-of-the-fittest-slugfest".
