'Tangkul Treasure ™' 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:

‘Tangkhul’ is the sub- name of one of the tribes, collectively called ‘Nagas’ who live in the seven states of north east of India , including and particularly in the state of Manipur which is where we went looking for R.gigantea in the wild forests abutting the neighboring country of Burma (now called Myanmar). The Tanghkul Nagas were pretty ferocious, being head hunters, but Christian missionaries in the early 20th century have tamed them. Many have beautiful singing voices, and there are many well known choirs.
‘Tangkhul Treasure’ is a strong and vigorous climbing rose with pure white double flowers, very large and full.
