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 have a few questions on this rose, I am considering it, or maybe Crimson Glory. How good is the repeat on Orfeo? How is it's fragrance (is it noticeable), is it an old rose/damask smell, or is it more of a fruity/tea smell. Does Orfeo resist blackspot?

Hi Dennis, if you mean Orfeo I don't see any reason you couldn't put it in a large tub or container with a trellis. It is a beautiful rose. I think it gets large but if you had a 20 or 30 gallon tub I don't see why you couldn't. Good Luck with it .. Jody

Dear Derek,
I don't think it will be happy for very long in a planter. It wants to get pretty big. Mine is only a few years old from an own-root cutting, and already it is about 6-7 feet tall by 8-10 feet wide (I've been training it as horizontally as possible along a tall fence.) Of course, I am in a fairly mild climate, USDA Zone 8, but I believe it is quite hardy. It is about to be covered in blooms. This is a great rose -- quite healthy. I hope to buy a digital camera soon so I can start posting pictures of my roses. -Victoria in Eugene, OR
