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've had Franziska Maria planted since fall 2008 and am now finally seeing a bloom. It could have been my hard pruning to grow a better root system that kept her from blooming the first couple years though. She seems to act more like a group one to me, but we'll see now. She has smaller flowers than I have read about, only about 4 inches across, but they are a gorgeous purple color in my garden. I have her growing with a Westerland climbing rose. Except for the first couple of years in the garden, do not hard prune her until after her initial flowering. I don't note any fragrance, but that's ok. I just wish she would have more quantity of blooms. She is definitely not a vigorous grower. She's only about 3 ft tall even now. I've only seen a few buds, but maybe she will get better with age, just like a fine wine.
Well, it's now 2011 and she's just as slow to grow as before and doesn't impress me. I've tried cutting her to the ground a few times and no more vines. Still only 3 ft tall. No blooms so far either. What a shame. I guess I'll pot her up or more than likely shovel prune her in spring for a more vigorous and floriferous group 3.
