    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.

    Yann Arthus-Bertrand is one of my favorite roses - an overall terrific performer which is in bloom continuously, although the initial flush is the most prolific. The scent is overpowering and on a warm summer evening wafts throughout the garden. Almost every visitor remarks on it.

    Sadly it is no longer available in the U.S. now so admirers can't just order it. I find it sad that the true roseraies are closing down due to competition from the landscape rose mega producers. Those are not real roses by any measure.

    All true, but it is a rose that roots VERY easily. Just pin a branch of it to the ground with a rock, and you'll see -- a separable plant in no time. Its downfall is that it is a wanderer. Sparsely foliaged plant that takes off towards the sun, and blooms "over yonder" (the other side of the neighbor's fence, maybe) when you've planted it where you wanted it to actually bloom.

    I will definitely try this. Do you think spring is better perhaps to try to layer? I have not noticed sparse foliage, but I do need to keep the center of the plant open in order to keep Black Spot at bay. I prune a little deeper into the bloomed out stems to keep it more compact. Fortunately, my plant is not next to the neighbors fence ;) Thanks for the advice.

    You can layer whenever the ground is damp and in the area of sixty degrees fahrenheit, on average.

    The stems and foliage in the photos remind me of Cherry Meidiland, and Pink Meidiland, to a lesser extent.

    Except this one looks healthier, with more tropical-toned blooms.
