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.

Could someone please tell me if I should prune as a climber or a rambler? Thank you.

If it's a once blooming rambler, prune it only after it blooms for this year, and then let it build up its character for next year's flush during the rest of this year. If it's a continuous blooming climber (e.g. Joseph's Coat), then prune away whenever you'd like to shape the bush. Better to leave the green long canes there, and to train them as horizontal as you can for best blooms, and to rid yourself of old, grey wood. A climber will keep trying to produce long canes, and if you keep cutting them off, you will find yourself in a neverending battle, rose wants to grow long canes, owner wants them gone, lol.
