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.

I am new to gardening. I just purchased my first home and want to start an English cutting garden. Are English roses harder to keep than other types? I love their antique look, but I am not sure if I am up to the task if it requires a lot of maintenace.

Great question. There are a lot of easy care roses, so it doesn't have to be hard to include them in your garden. The trick is to find roses that like your climate and your gardening style. You don't mention what zone you are located in, so it is impossible to give you an answer about what rose will do well for you. You might want to contact your local American Rose Society for recommendations about roses that do well in your area.

Lyn

If you are new to growing roses, I would suggest you look at growing David Austin shrub roses. They have the cabbage rose form and most of them are easy to grow. Golden Celebration is very vigorous, good disease resistance and does well in most zones.
As Lyn suggested it is good to get the advise of someone from your growing area.
