That is so interesting. Mine holds blooms for a long time. You must be in a very different climate.

I live in NW Oregon, which is similar to Western Washington. Temperate, borders rainforest ranges, but is in the valley system, so decent humidity. I noticed your clone is much lighter orange, which makes me wonder if either of us have a color sport. I bought mine the year Weeks introduced it to the market. I have a love-hate relationship with it. Its an amazing garden performer, but the growth habit is not good (has no real outline at all) and the aging blooms are really, really ugly.

Mine is that way in the heat. I have learned that often, my roses do not resemble the typical look for the variety until we have cool fall weather.

Website Errors and Problems
Initial post 13 OCT by Margaret Strathalbyn
Still some hiccups in the system. I tried to post 2 photos of George Elger, but only one came up. I tried several times to post the second photo separately, but I was told I needed to select a file to post, and to use the Browse button (which doesn't exist on that page on my screen).Then, putting this comment on, I couldn't see the Website Errors & Problems category.

Can you please be more specific. Providing an example of an attempt that failed helps us to replicate the issue.

I had the same issue as Margaret. It was really hit or miss whether photographs loaded. While loading photographs, images to the following roses failed: Signature, St Patrick, Falling In Love, New Hampshire, Kardinal, Bee Scene, Lions Rose, Neon Sunset, Werribee Park, Love's Gift, Blush Noisette, Violette and Rosa Luciae. Gave up after three in a row were unsuccessful.

Photo uploads are next on our correction/enhancement list.

I am still having trouble uploading photos. Randomly will accept one, then won't let me upload for the the rest of the week.

Also, I've noticed that if a comment is posted under a particular photo, that comment appears in the general comments section for that rose and not under that particular photo's comments, like it used to. For example I just posted a comment about a 2013 photo for 'Charivari' but if you click on the rose name it doesn't lead you to that photo.

We're still working on it.

If you reduce the file size they will load. I have to reduce the ones from my phone to 60%. They still look like the originals.

Reply #20 posted yesterday by HMF Admin

What was the original file size and what did you reduce it to? The system is supposed to report when a file is too large.

Reply #22 posted yesterday by Bug_girl

Original file size is 4.29 MB, (3024 x 3024) 9 MP, resized 60% to (1814 x 1814) and they upload fine.

Two more roses where photos do not load: Anne's Delight and Jamie Alexander. I have tried to load some of the previous list, but are still rejected.
Reply #10 posted 10 days ago by HMF Admin

Exactly what happens when you click the "Choose" button ?

Reply #11 posted 10 days ago by Patricia Routley

Johno is right.  It really is hit and miss.

Working down the Photo Upload page:

Choose file.

Add the photo subject matter

Then type in the Photo Comments

And then press Upload Now. 

After about 5 seconds the Photo File name disappears, and No File Chosen appears. 

Reply #16 posted 7 days ago by Johno

You insert the file and hit upload. After some time you end with the same screen as above.

Another little problem: Tried to Edit a previous Missing Plant posting to correct a spelling error.

Page will open but will not allow me to type anything new or correct the error.

Reply #13 posted 8 days ago by a_carl76

Slightly different type of bug:


I can sign in but as soon as I leave the sign in page the orange sign in/new member button reappears and it appears I am signed out. Even though my user name still appears by the "welcome:" I do not have access to anything that would require being signed in - cannot add/delete plants from gardens, limited access to content, etc.

Please email the support dept with more details so we can replicate the problem. In this case, we will need your account HMF information.

Oops, we have a problem; this unrecoverable system (14) error has been reported to the support department.`


This is the message that I get every time I try to update my "Plants Grown" list. I have probably about 50 to add, as I have expanded the garden and have been experiencing this repeatedly since the site upgrade. I don't know where to go to get help for this problem because I can't find anywhere to email or otherwise contact HMF Support.

Reply #18 posted 2 days ago by Bug_girl

I get that error every time I try to send a private message. There is a rose coming in the mail for Andre Carl and I need to let him know!

Reply #21 posted yesterday by HMF Admin

Yes we need to reinstall the support contact link but the best alternative is to just email support "at" helpmefind dot com.


Everyone should please be aware our limited resources are a bit stretched at this time mitigating the service disruption attacks most every night as of late. Implementing countermeasures on a live system complicates the issue, we are working through the problems.

Reply #23 posted yesterday by Bug_girl

Thank you for all of your efforts. I wish I was more computer savvy so I could help.

Reply #15 posted 8 days ago by HMF Admin

Can you see if the problem still persists please ?

Reply #24 posted today by ozrose

Yes, still happening. I even opened HMF up using Microsoft Edge [which I don't like, I infinitely prefer Google Chrome as my browser], hoping that it might make a difference. At the moment, the search function appears to be working but I still can't update my plant list. I'm not even game to try updating photos. I have sent an email to the support team this morning. I hope it has gone through. Last night it kept bouncing back at me; I'm better at growing roses than I am mucking around with tech, and it doesn't take too many glitches to make me doubt that I have any ability with the wretched stuff at all.
