My HMF:

☐ 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.

WOW disappointed.

A blotch of black spot (I inspected very thoroughly, as I wanted to make 100% certain it wasn't a blemish, heat damage, insect damage, or another disease) showed up today.

I remember when Sun Sprinkles and Yellow Jacket were once sold locally, and I never bought them because they have defoliation issues, like many 1990s J/P roses did. I had hoped this rose carried KO's disease resistance, and I guess it is not complete. With that said, it has been otherwise clean all summer.

Yes, but I did not care for the results. Most of the times the colors were dull. They were yellow, orange, pink, whatever -- but dull toned. Also, exhibited that weird stalkiness that give that lollipop look I dislike. It is possible there are combinations that would resolve these issues, but I stopped using it and never found out.	REPLY

I would not call this rose orange at all. It has nice form. Classic mini shape. The color is mostly apricot, with a yellowish reverse. A pink margin shows up at the edge of the apricot side. It's a really nice color, but it is not orange. More like halfway between 'Mardi Gras' and 'Holy Toledo', I guess???

Edit: The August blooms were even less orange, but not faded. They had the nice gold reverse, but the petal face was a very strange tone between dark apricot and the color of 'Teddy Bear'. I liked it.
