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.

What is the mature size (height and width) of this shrub? Also, does it perform better (e.g. colours don’t fade) if planted in part shade like R. Glauca? Thanks!

From the book Right Rose, Right Place by Peter Schneider.

"The most interesting hybrid I have grown is the Canadian 'Louis Riel' (Zubrowski, 1996), which carries R. glauca's distinctive gray foliage into a more upright plant with single-petaled white blooms that recur throughout the summer."

In fact, the shrub is less upright (and more prickly) than Rosa glauca and it only flowers once.

'Louis Riel' has 1 1/4 inch diameter flowers that are very light pink that fade quickly to white. The shrub is much more thornier than Rosa glauca. Foliage is similar in appearance to Rosa glauca and the contrast of its purple-red color and white flowers is very attractive. Hips are rarely produced. When the flowers are finished blooming, the shrub is valuable (especially in very cold climates) for providing a contrasting purple color to shrubs having green foliage that are grown in the landscape.
