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.

This is actually a GORGEOUS rose, but it completely defoliates here by August in the PNW :[ I remember that it has Voodoo's thorns, which is typical for Tropicana descendants, but they were not an issue, because it was easy to prune.

Long story short: Great rose if you live in a non-blackspot region.

I bought Modern Magic last year and it started off good, but the canes started dying one by one and suckers started shooting up. Has anyone else had a problem with this rose? I don't know if I just got a bad one, or if it's a common problem with this one.

This is a difficult question for almost any of us to answer without seeing the actual plant you purchased. Not all rose plants of the same variety are necessarily of the same quality. The plant you purchased might not have been a solid plant to begin with, and there may have been problems with the graft, or budding, which caused the rose grafted to the rootstock to die or perform badly. Clearly the rootstock was strong enough to send up suckers, but, of course, that is not the rose you wanted to add to your garden.

If you really like the rose, I would try another plant.

Smiles,

I grow this rose on clay soil in the Southern Santa Clara Valley of Calif. It has been reliable and lovely now for 3 years (30 minutes drip 2 X/week mulched).
