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.

As with many other early English Roses, this one was not widely marketed, nor widely grown. That said, it is one of the early Austin roses that stand out in my climate and my conditions. I once said, while being questioned in an interview about my rose collection, specifically about Lilac Rose"s fragrance: "It is like putting your nose in a dream!" and I will stand by that statement. We have three specimens growing in the South Okanagan of BC and it is a very, very good rose in this climate. I will state specifically, that the plants we have are at least 30 years in the ground in a public garden, so "well established" is a good term. This is an early English Rose that deserves to be more widely grown, at least in a hot dry summer climate. Cold hardy to zone 5b if not lower too.

This blooms quite well in a pot in my Chicago qarden. However, it does not have a strong fragrance; it has a moderate fragrance. It is not what I'd call a star of the garden, but--like a garden phlox--it can contribute as part ot the backbone of a garden. I purchased it from Roses Unlimited in 2009.

The trouble that I have with this rose is that the blooms do not open most of the time. When they do, they are gorgeous but probably 80% of the blooms do not open.
I live in the Phoenix, AZ area and have tried it for 5 years and it hasn't gotten any better so out it goes.

That is too bad. I have been interested in this rose for some time but if it doesn't open in Phoenix it probably won't open any where.
