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.

Why is it a Hybrid China? Wouldn't that mean it would repeat-flower? Also wouldn't that mean it was not hardy above z6 or 7?
Just ordered from Palatine Roses...

Reading the references may help answer your question. Start from the bottom and read up. This will give you a chronological overview.

Hybrid China tends to be a ragbag term, used by some (and disapproved by others) for roses probably bred in the 19th century, which clearly aren't pure "Old European", and usually not repeat-flowering (presumably first-generation crosses with repeat-flowerers). Some unidentified survivor roses here (zone 9b) get thrown into that category.

The first generation of crosses of Chinas with Gallicas/Damasks etc in the 19th century inherited the once-flowefing characteristics of the European Roses. These were named Hybrid Chinas. Only subsequent crosses with repeat-flowering resulted in occasional or regular repeat. These later crosses were called Hybrid Perpetuals.

I just ordered from Palatine today. I am thrilled to get into their crazy sale. How do you like Duchesse de Mont? I am in zone 6a. It will get morning sun 4+ I hope it is happy. I would like to know if by bushy, does it mound or have a rounding growth pattern. Does yours? Thanks!

Lax growth, almost thornless. Tolerates shade.
