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.

This rose appears to be ideally suited for our climate (Zone 9B), the only requirement is that powdery mildew be controlled. Mild days and cool nights allow the gorgeous colors to develop fully. Upright plant with blooms coming singly and in clusters. Foliage is large and attractive. Superb exhibition form but the blooms move fast. Having said that, if it is not too warm, the exhibition form will hold until judging is over. Fully opened blooms are lovely. Long lasting on the bush as well as in a vase. The plant does well on its own roots.

Kismet has absolutely gorgeous foliage but unfortunately the blooms so far have been very disappointing. This plant seems to be a thrip magnet and the blooms rarely escape damage from them even while nearly every other rose in my garden has blooms that are great. Blooms have been quite small as well, usually just under 2 inches. I've had the plant about a year and it is a container plant.
