'Charming Pink' 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.

Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant, blackspot resistant, mildew resistant. Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood.. Needs little care; relatively disease-free and quite hardy. Prune after flowering is finished. Prune lightly until this rose gets established (about two years), then prune it back by about a third.. Remove unproductive wood every third year or so.
Breeder's notes:
One of five seedlings whose label went missing. Based upon the thornless/almost thornless nature, structure of the leaves, and the crosses made that year I suspect the pollen parent may have been Simonet's Red Dawn X Suzanne. These seedlings most likely have the same Seed parent and pollen parent - I really wish I knew because it is a superior rose. Scent is very close to what the old rose ‘Banshee’ has but I don’t recall ever using it in breeding.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
First planted in the ground: July 2016. First blooms in 2019. Mature blooms in 2020.
