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.

The parentage of Petticoat is Margaret Merrill, according to patent information.

The code name implies Margaret Merril and Flower Carpet Pink (the codename implies the German spelling). The foliage definitely denotes Rosa wichurana type foliage like FC Pink, but sadly it cant be reported unless confirmed by raw source data.

Pickering Nursery is selling this rose as "Petticoat Fairy Tale." Yet another rose being sold under a number of similar names. Is there anyone else out there who thinks it should be mandatory to sell roses under their registration name as well as their market name? There is just too much confusion otherwise!

I absolutely agree, I don´t understand this policy, too.

Thanks for your agreement. It really drives me nuts to have to spend time trying to figure out what some rose offered by a nursery really is. It would be so easy to end up buying the same rose from three different nurseries under different names. There is enough confusion over old rose identities, I don't see why nurseries should be propagating more confusion with modern roses. It's bad business practice at best.
