'65/2010' 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.

Breeder's notes:
Small, triangular, brown prickles.

This seedling , tested out for over a decade, has been on our radar for quite some time, but we never got round to thinking of releasing it. In early 2023 Viru remarked that we should do something about it, and since it again flowered a week after he went, I thought it was appropriate to give it a name and release it as it was his wish. The name of the hymn Abide with Me always resonated with us, so I felt that it would be a good name to give this rose which has abided with us for nearly 14 years.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
