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.

"The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the dense, well branched habit, dark green foliage and open flower clusters of the female parent combined with the bright orange flowers and disease resistance of the male parent. "

So the male parent was orange. I had to look this up from the patent since it was used in Cinnamon Hearts. I wondered what was so dang special about a forgotten grandiflora from the 1990s.

I picked up Candelabra own-root from Roses Unlimited this year. It's bloomed a few times, and, so far, I'm a fan. A strong, interesting color that doesn't fade and didn't burn. Not much scent, but that's not a deal breaker for me. This is more along the lines of what I was hoping New Year would be when I tried it.

Everything about this one is/was 30 years behind. The color. THE NAME. Not a BAD rose at all! Might lack some distinction, might remind a saavy grower of DUET from 1962. May LOOK like Duet x Tropicana. Probably not really up to AARS standards and most likely goes into the AARS "oops" file.

I've come so very close to getting this rose. I love 70's-ish style orange roses. A lot of times I end up liking roses most people don't like. But, if I get one, something in the garden needs to go, haha. I think Roses Unlimited has this one own-root...I wonder how that pans out.

I need to know you, DRoss!!!!!! My email blew up tonight with all of your wonderful comments and we share a love of mid-century orange! Please take a gander at Bolongo Bay, my rose, hybridized in the 2010's but was my shot at 1965-75 O-R GR and I got lucky and nailed it, lol. Actually I was trying to recreate the Lammerts' long lost "Los Angeles Beautiful" from 1967 and figured little Hawaiian Delight was "close enough" to Rumba....

I recall when this came out.

Absolutely no fanfare for it. I was excited, because it was orange.

I grew it. And ho-hum. Very boring. It grows fine. Vigor is moderate. Rebloom is okay. Resistances are average. But it has absolutely no personality anywhere. That would be great, if it was a landscape rose. But it isn't one.

And my opinion seems to be the consensus. This rose came and went without a word. An AARS winner, no less.
