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 rose was growing in our garden when we took it over, on a trellis against an east facing wall of an iron oxide red shed. An ancient specimen that appeared to be neglected and badly butchered for years. After a good pruning in early spring, a second spring pruning to cut back the yellow canes covered in black spot, and a lot of heavy spraying, this rose grew back with a vengeance, quickly reaching over two meters high with the top cascading out over our heads. The blooms were showy and well formed, but lacked charm and fragrance. The color was clear and bright, but also lacked charm and disappeared against the color of the wall. We replaced the entire plant after painting the shed.

I've picked up from Sam McGredy's breeding records (and added the 2008 reference) another parentage for 'Heidelberg'.	REPLY

To distinguish between the 1959 and the 2009 'Heidelberg's, the class, breeder and date are added to the HelpMefind listing name. Because of the 1983 reference and the Note on the main page, it looks as though the name should be changed from 'Heidelberg' (hybrid kordesii, Kordes, 1959 to 'Heidelberg' (shrub, Kordes, 1959).	REPLY
