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 rose has been used quite extensively in the Kojonup Australian Rose Maze at Kodja Place, Kojonup, Western Australia. When we were visiting there recently (in late spring), 'Ida Elizabeth' was looking superb. The plants looked strong and healthy with a generous flush of large blooms. The colour was very clear, strong and bright but not jarring - it contrasted very well with the foliage, and the paler petal reverses had a slightly softening effect - welcome in the bright sunlight. It looked like a very good decorative plant.
'Generous' is the word that comes to mind when I recall the rose - foliage, blooms, the whole plant. I'm interested to know whether it is as good through other seasons.

I saw it at Kodja Place in April, 2008 (autumn) and my notes from that day say:
" 'Ida Elizabeth' is a huge big fat red rose, it reminds me of an ‘Ena Harkness’ but with a silver back and the petals rolling back down a la ‘La France’ fashion."
You have reminded me that I promised myself I would buy it.
