'George Will' 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 hybrid of Rugosa-accicularis with an unrecorded pollen parent has given me a fertile plant with good red flowers in clusters throughout the summer. This variety grows about 2 ft. high is hardy and quite fragrant. Mr. Davis saw it in 1936 and thought it quite promising. It has since been named George Will.

"I have found that the George Will rose is a good parent, too. But it is hard to get many seeds from it. I had one seedling of it that bloomed at 3 months from seed, but its excessive blooming plus mildew caused it to die out."
