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.

The American patent states this was a cross between two unnamed seedlings. The Australian patent states this, "Origin and Breeding Open-pollination: this variety was the result of a rose hip found on the ground in the breeding area of De Ruiter's Nieuwe Rozen B.V. The following are the possible parents: possible seed parents ‘Jacakor’, ‘B.C.G.104’ or ‘Harpade’ x possible pollen parents ‘Ruirouvingt’ or ‘Korflapei’. ‘Jacakor’ is characterised by very large hot pink to mauve flowers on a large plant. ‘B.C.G.104’ is characterised by its mauve perfumed flowers on a strong bush. ‘Harpade’ is characterised by its semi-double magenta/white bi-colour flowers. ‘Ruirouvingt’ is characterised by its yellow/pink flowers. ‘Korflapei’ is characterised by its small bright yellow flowers. Hybridisation took place in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in 1993. This seedling was chosen on the basis of flower colour. Selection criteria: colour, productivity as a cut flower and vase life."

You're welcome. I'd encourage anyone who finds the parentage information interesting and important to fish it from the patents. There have been a few (such as Smoky) where no such information has ever been made known, yet it was right there in the patent for anyone who cared to look, to see.

Yes, getting the linage up for 'Smoky' was rather fun.

Thanks again, Kim.
