'Perfect Paillette ™' rose Description
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.

Notes:
A correspondent writes: I purchased Violet Hit as a potted rose from a local store. It was nice in the pot, but when I put it out in my garden it got bigger and bloomed better than any of my 600 or so other roses. I actually planted a hedge of damaged plants that I purchased which the store was going to throw away and they came back and out performed every thing else in my garden. Why hasn't someone started selling them as outside plants for northern climates (zone 5)?
Their sister plants 'Absolute Hit' and 'Perfect Hit' are great, too, and offer marvelous color. 'Absolute Hit' is red, 'Perfect Hit' a salmon pink. For anyone doing dried flowers they are gorgeous and for edging a driveway or walkway with short roses they are the best to be found I think. I have been a rose grower and dried flower supplier for several years so I am not a novice. I really would like to see these roses available to public as garden roses.
