'S. No. 232' rose Description

My HMF:

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:

Our friend Marriam Ahmad ( Face Book name Marriam A. Ghazali) of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has been a frequent participant of our Indian rose conventions for many years. Her passion for roses, just like us, endeared her to us and we sympathized with her enduring efforts to popularize heritage roses, start a rose society and help other rosarians in her country. She brought us a plant of Alexandrine many years ago and Viru tried hybridizing with it. Finally this seedling which had a rich mix of well known roses in its parentage flourished and grew well. Viru was keeping an eye on it, telling me,’if it proves to be a good plant with good blooms we must name it for Marriam’. It flowered a few times when he was still there but he was waiting for the plant to mature. This year it has flowered more profusely, and the plant has established itself. So I am happy ( as Viru would have been too) to name this for this good rose friend.
