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.

Ena Harkness, Climbing Hybrid tea climber... A family friend, Albert Norman, raised the bush form and wanted to name it for rose grower Bill Harkness, but Bill suggested it bear his wife's name instead. It appeared in 1946, and the climbing sport followed in 1954 from two different sources, R. Murrell in Hertfordshire and Gurteen & Ritson in Surrey. Only very limited availability in the US.

'Ena Harkness, Climbing'    Climber   Crimson    Summer  +  P5   H2  *** 
The best way to grow this famous red rose is to plant it as a climber, by a wall or fence. The foliage looks darker, and the flowers larger than in the bush form; I don't know why that should be. Moreover the sting is drawn from the chief failing of the variety, that she hangs her head, for as a climber she hangs it just sufficiently to afford a perfect view. The sport occurred in two nurseries, Gurteen & Ritson  of Horley, Surrey, and R. Murrell of Bedmond Hill, Hertfordshire. It was introduced in 1954.
