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.

Well, the orange-red fad was very much over by 1980 yet this one hit the market (and somehow Bing Crosby won AARS in 82).........I grew this one in the late 80's and I am only commenting here because there is just nothing to say! It wasn't BAD. It stood out in NO MANNER. The blooms were kind of small but nicely formed. The plant was lankey. Well, who needed a pixilated Command Performance 10 years later? If only Weeks had held on to this for another decade, the name would have resonated more soundly in some manners with Clinton and the color would have been more appreciated..........along with Bng Crosby (next to Apollo one of the biggest AARS 'jokes' ever) this one just bookended the orange-red craze 1960-1980 and in a not notable way...............one of those varieties that when you understand how improbable a rose will ever get released is, it is just shocking this ever got released..................again, NOT BAD! But 75,000 other seedlings "that year" were also "not BAD!"
