'Salutations' rose Description
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.

In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
Breeder's notes:
This seedling is similar in growth and color, but the blooms are single in the summer and semi-double in the spring versus usually double on its parent. It is currently grown as a freestanding bush that grows to about 5 feet tall and if it were not kept in bounds, or was grown in a warmer climate, I can definitely see it getting up to about 10+ feet tall and about 5-6 feet wide - it takes a lot of training to keep it in the small space I have available for it. Best color during cooler times (spring/fall) and when first opened.
