☐ POST COMMENT

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.

I have found that the scent is a pleasant mild licorice or anise scent. This is a delightful little big rose, as Chris said .	REPLY

regarding the TENDER.........it was killed to the ground in the first 2 years when others were quite fine........December '83 in Columbus was record breaking and THAT did it in for sure............needed to clarify that! -24 is -24!!!!	REPLY

Grew this in the early 80's in 6a, Columbus. My personal experience was that is was quite unique, the plant grew short and stout, MAYBE 2 feet tall, MAYBE and produced quite large, very well shaped blooms all one to a stem, the general effect being almost as if you just plugged a dozen florist roses into the ground. Have a 1981 or so AARS annual and seems my experience was not unique, this is like a little stout Hybrid Tea or maybe some MAXI Miniflora.........it is extremely tender. Absolutely, that also strikes a lucid memory. Had it for 3 years I believe and then December 1983 struck with record lows around -24 and most survivied but this one did not and Armstrong was either no longer listing it by then already or I decided against replacing it then, not sure. However! I did buy this recently from Vintage and cannot wait for it to arrive and see it again, see how it "adds up" so to speak.............very unique little-big rose!
