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.

Mine is beginning to bloom, as in 1 bud. Love the form. I expected more hot pink or deep pink, noticing orange red? It looks like the pictures Decateur posted.

It definitely appears nearly red, pink-red, or orangy-red as the bud opens. I wasn't expecting such a strong & dark color, and had originally worried that my new plants were mistagged. No such worries now....all are blooming (from Rosemania) and true to labels. This one does fade out to the commonly described color of a deep pink with white reverses. My newest pics posted yesterday show how the bloom stays on the plant forever, and fades eventually to nearly white. We've had a LOT of wind and rain over the last 12 days and nothing has knocked her petals off yet. It does blow open very fast and does NOT really have what I consider to be the best exhibition form, but I don't show roses so it's no big deal to me. The bloom form for me, so far, has been flat, ruffly, and more cupped instead of spiral.

Color quite variable but always beautiful. Almost red in shade but hot pink with white reverse in full sun.

Incredibly vigorous and floriferous. I do not spray and it has been consistently healthy for the past 3 years while I trialed it. Grows in long stemmed sprays, which might be a bit tall and large for exhibition as a miniflora spray, so disbud early if you plan to exhibit. Tolerates some shade
