    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.

    I've been told by a supplier it's winter hardiness is very poor, does anyone growing this rose thing it would need protection in zone 8? I've never had to provide any sort of protection in our mostly snowless winters

    Looking at minimum temperatures for US zones, I think the UK, where I grow this rose, would count as zone 9. I never had any problem with it in zone 9. If your minimum winter temperatures tend to be towards the upper end of zone 8 (ie closer to 20F than 10F) I suspect you'd be OK, particularly if you plant it in the shelter of a warm wall. I highly recommend this rose -- both scent and bloom form are superb.
