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.

Hi, may I get a cutting of your Souvenir d'Alphonse Lavallée? I cannot find it anywhere, I have looked for over a year now.

Mr. Delahanty died in 2013. His family may still have this rose - but in that rose's file, have you tried looking under BUY FROM? Heirloom Roses, Roses Unlimited and Hortico in Canada are shown there to be listing 'Souvenir d'Alphonse Lavalee' .

Roses Unlimited had none last year, none being propagated this year and probably none next year either. Heirloom got rid of it, and it appears Hortico does not have it, I will try calling tomorrow. A place in England has it, however I do not think I would be able to order from there.

How often does "Long Tall Sally" rebloom? Is it hardy in zone 5?

I cannot answer the question regarding the hardiness of LTS. I grow it in Zone 9 or 10 where we haven't had a frost since 1990. As for the bloom, it is near continuous from the first blooms in April until it is forcibly stopped in December to induce dormancy... I have to admit that this is one of my favorite roses, the near brown pink buds opening to a white blend in glorious clusters of single flowers. It resists our main diseases--powdery mildew and rust---and the foliage is clean. The growth pattern is upright--almost columnar. I hope it is hardy. JD
