'Velvet Cloak' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

Description of "Velvet Cloak" in Justice Miniatures year 2000 catalog: "When the first flush of blooms appear, they will show you how the name came to be chosen. The sparsity of petals means it will never attend a rose show. The effect created by a mass of yellow stamens against the very dark, red background virtually guarantees that everyone will stop for a second look. 16 to 18" tall, covered with dark green foliage. Seems to be happy in all climates."

And I can confirm that this rose is a profuse bloomer. Quite a striking rose, all in all. Too bad it has disappeared from commerce.
