'Limberlost Pink' rose Description
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.

Breeder's notes:
This rose, and its sister, were originally intended to commemorate a premier Southern California Rose Nursery I ran for a while. The producer who was to introduce it was never able to provide any plants of it, so none were ever sold with the first name. Some years later, a great rose friend accidentally ended up with a plant of this. I didn't know I had it, and when I tried to give him a plant of Annie Laurie McDowell, this is what he received. He liked the rose (as I always have), and asked its name. I suggested he name it, which he did, for his wonderful wife, Jane (Mrs. James Delahanty). Hence, Super Jane honors her and is the proper name for this rose.
This rose can express canes completely without ANY prickles. It can also express canes covered in the dense, small prickles from its mutliflora heritage, and even canes with large, hooked, climbing tool type prickles.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
