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.

My personal opinion is that the seedling portion of this rose is Dickson's 'Yellow Ribbon' (1977).

I would like to suggest an enhancement of the Parentage by Name and Descendants by Name search results pages.

Currently, the names of the ancestral or descendant roses are presented along with numbers giving the generation(s) in which each particular rose served as the ancestor or was the descendant. Would it be possible for those numbers to each link to a page that displays the lineage sequence of that led to, or produced, the rose for which the Parentage/Descendants by Name results were being searched for ? This would save a great deal of effort in researching lineages for breeding purposes.

For instance, Parentage by Name results for Baby Love show Zorina in generations 4,5. In this case I would like to click the number '4' and get a chart or list showing something like

Zorina > Eurorose > Bright Smile > Sweet Magic > Baby Love

If I were to click the number '5' I would get something like

Zorina > Anabelle > Memento > Brass Ring > Sweet Magic > Baby Love

Thanks

That's an interesting idea but it would pretty significant effort. Does anyone else concur on the value of this enhancement to HMF.

It sounds like a great idea but since I don't know what kind of effort or the time it would require, I can't make any comment about whether or not it would be worth the effort.

Definitely an interesting idea. The other thing that would help me is to recognize synonymy. I tried for one of the more popular, or frequently pedigree participating roses, like Briarcliff and got lost looking at all the similar names. Modern roses are the worst where they have 2-5 synonyms puffing up the 4th & 5th generation listings.

Thanks for adding your feedback. The synonym problem is a tough one; the issue being which synonymy to use when there are several. We might be able to improve that though - thanks for bringing it up.

I am a fan of this yellow semi-single sold by Hortico (have never seen it elsewhere). Hardy, floriferous and bullet proof – surprised it is not more widely grown. More hardy, more bug proof and more disease resistant than Carefree Sunshine in my zone 5 Ontario garden
