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.

The blooms are of true exhibition form. They are a little small in the summer for exhibition purposes but are superb in spring and autumn. ‘Kardinal’ and ‘Pink Kardinal’ are some of the first roses to flower in spring and continue until early winter when the best flowers of the year are produced. Each bloom contains 50 petals with suberb substance. The bush is of medium height and stocky. Zones 5-10. Stratford, Australia, 1995. Sport of ‘Kardinal’.

p146. Mr. Les Stratford of Toongabbie, New South Wales relates: I have a new rose named ‘Pink Kardinal’, a sport of ‘Kardinal’. I have registered this rose with the Rose Society of Australia, and it has been accepted with the P.V.R. in Canberra. P.V.R. 94/077 and I am in the process of having it registered with the American Rose Society. I am a member of the Parramatta & Hills Society, and I displayed a large vase of the blooms at the recent National Rose championship held at Chatswood, where much interest was shown not only by local exhibitors, but interstate as well.
