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.

Thank you Michael.
I have presumed the introducer was Star Pennsylvania, and not Star California?

I assume so. The Star Roses site doesn't list where they are primarily, but the job opportunities page is 100% Pennsylvania addresses.

I feel like there is a Wizard of Oz joke in the name change.

Should probably be called Burnt Mary, or even Burnt Brick House. Petals burn severely in the sun, making for a distinctly unattractive bloom.

Yikes. Its bred from the same parent of Canyon Road, which seemed bomb proof in my garden. I didn't understand why they released another red from the same parent, when the first one seems pretty good.

The only bad part about Canyon Road was that it sent up 2 long limbs in September, but it was otherwise super resilient. I couldn't complain, since winter pruning fixes the issue.

The male parent of this one is Tamango, which brought us Preference, which seems really heat resilient. I guess Brick House (what a bizarre name..) just couldn't recreate that magic.

Agreed. Grow them both. Canyon Road can be a low growing octopus here too, but is otherwise good. I put Canyon Road so it grows over the edge of my deck, where it can octopus away all it likes. And I also like Preference here.
