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.

"Size.--Large. Average open diameter is 51/2 inches."

It is larger than 2.75". I don't know about 5.5", even in my area. From subjective experience, it was "slightly smaller scale than Brandy, but still large."

It was an intended improvement of Brandy, and it was, even with its own caveats. Better habit, more petals, a little less die-back. But definitely not 2.75" blooms.

Corrected. was probably an error of logging cm instead of inches.

Lucille Ball was available at Palatine Roses this year - although it is sold out now. I ordered one and can't wait to grow it again. I grew it the year before it was widely available and it was one of my favorites. I had to abandon Lucy and all my other roses in 1998 when I moved to a new house. Hopefully I'll get a good plant and will report back in June after the first bloom.

She's special, but she's also very prone to Blackspot.

She can be gorgeous in a desert climate.

IF Palatine got access to RMV free propagation materials it would be special indeed.

Since I spray regularly every 10 to 14 days I don't think I'll have a blackspot issue with Lucy. A long time ago in a place far away I won a Virgin Queen award with Lucy (best rose by an exhibitor who has never won a Queen) so I am quite familiar with her foibles. My main concern is getting a good plant.

Hi,
I don't know if this is an error or not but the description reads thornless (or almost) and several of the comments mention that it is very thorny. I realize these are"qualitative" judgements but they seem at both ends of the extremes. Have never seen it personally so don't know. Would appreciate a consensus one way or the other.
Thanks,
Jim
