'Norman's 137B' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

A pity this rose is not available in the United States. At least, I have yet to find a nursery that lists or carries it.
We certainly have several nurseries to select from for 'Crimson Glory' and 'Étoile de Hollande'.

I know of 'Ena Harkness' but not of 'Eva Harkness'. Can anyone show that it ever existed? And why does HMF accept the addition of a rose to its database on the otherwise unsupported basis of a single label?

Indeed, there is no 'Eva Harkness', but 'Ena Harkness'. It is also labeled by the latter name at the Roseraie du Val de Marne. Checking the admin notes on the Eva listing, it seems that this was an addition in the early days of HMF and the error was not realized until your comment. As you know, we are only very few honorary admins and do not have the resources to constantly check the database. It is our members who direct our attention to discrepancies. The beauty of a database like HMF is that errors can be remedied very fast and do not hang on for ages as in books. So, thank you very much for the heads up and 'Eva Harkness' is history!

PS. Not to be misunderstood: I love rose books and have hundreds of them - but their purpose is different.
