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 forgot to mention that he sets nice, orange hips, too. But he needs deadheading until you want the hips. Otherwise, he'll have hips all summer and not bloom nearly like he should. He's not as tall as New Dawn after all, btw. Here, he tops out at maybe 11-12 feet and then focuses on lots and lots of basals (so far).

Can I just say Wow?!!! The first year is pretty, but man is this rose gorgeous after he grows up a bit! In my weather (NC, hot, humid) he's mainly apricot fading to buff, but there are subtle variations in color that are so pretty. The flower form gets fuller with age, and I couldn't be more pleased.

Disease resistance is awesome (A+). This one is going to be much taller than 8' here, though. It's so vigourous that I'd expect something along the lines of New Dawn, but obviously I don't know quite yet :) Near continuous flowering. Not a lot of scent, and something vaguely myrhh-like to my nose most of the time. Try this one, though, y'all! You don't hear much about him, but he's a big favorite of mine now :)
