'PLTB Crest' rose Description
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.

Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
So far grows a lot like a larger miniature, with lots of branches. While not terribly resistant to blackspot, it happily pushes fresh foliage. Unlike Ja16-02, survived the winter of 2019.
Spring 2019, started to push much larger and thornier canes. More vigorous than the pollen parent.
Really wants to put out large clusters of blooms, with surprisingly long stems, although the plant isn't quite strong enough to support the habit. I'd expect this to be a very good performer on the West Coast, and even more so if budded.
Cuttings and budwood available on request!
