☐ POST COMMENT

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 have a very old specimen from selfed seeds of Rugosa #3. I have included the pollen samples here. Every few year, it will set one hip. It is otherwise completely female sterile. I am trying its pollen this year. I usually avoid using Rugosa x moderns (they're sloppy, huge, and irregular. a pain to grow out...), but I am curious about it this year.

Therese Bugnet is growing near it. As well as Jens Munk. Mine is fully double, with quite gigantic foliage and blooms. It looks like Jens Munk on steroids. Nothing in common with Therese Bugnet, really. And the fragrant matches Jens Munk type. It is really strong, and too potent for my taste. Therese Bugnet is less clove-musk-y and more of a simple sweet briar scent, with just a tinge of clove.
