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.

I received DB from Rogue Valley last year. It has just begun to bloom and profusely. The mystery is that while color, blooms, leaves all look like DB, it is quite thorny with abundant resinous scented glands and is a great "moss" rose. Anyone else have this experience?

Brown Velvet is glandular, and Has Grandma's hat in the background, which is almost a moss rose, with very strongly scented plant parts, the kind that won't wash off.

Thanks, I don't have either of those background plants. Pics of DB look very smooth-stemmed and almost thornless. Mine is identical in every other aspect, nice to know it comes by the "mossiness" honestly!

Admin, this strange double-post and deleting of the wrong message is happening again. It is a bug, and a rather serious one!

How has the disease fared in seedlings?

I bought DB b/c it was hailed as heat tolerant and very vigorous and a non-stop bloomer. Alas, that has not been the case with mine , going on its third year in my south Louisiana very hot, humid garden. It's still puny and rarely blooms, though it gets lots of sun. It is almost always covered in black spot and has already dropped a fair portion of its leaves due to BS. I even tried a regimen of spraying this year, which I don't really like to do, starting early, to see if that would help it but does not appear to have made a difference. I hold out hope that it will establish itself this year and take off.

Few modern roses have a delicate, tea-like quality of branches and overall architecture, which I find to be a very appealing characteristic of Dragon's Blood.
