'Zion 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.

Breeder's notes:
I was contacted by a friend of the family of little Zion Rose. She had just been diagnosed with MLD (a terminal brain disease) which was devastating and heartbreaking for the family. Knowing this was incurable, the friend, Leah Johnson, sought a way to immortalize her memory. After researching the process for naming a rose, she got in contact with me. Of course after hearing about Zion, I started looking for a rose that would fit the request. The family was interested in a yellow rose and were pleased that the seedling P133-2 was available. Zion passed away in November of 2015.
