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 have noted that retailers of this rose in Australia and UK give the registration name of BASgoodas, which is inconsistent with Kordes typical naming protocols. Is this a Kordes rose or is Brad Jalbert of Select Roses, Canada the hybridiser as he claims on his FB page (also mentioned on Phoenix Perennials website). North American name Our Anniversary.

Definitely, Basgoodas is not a Kordes variety name. Phoenix gardens equates this to 'Our Anniversary' of Brad Jalbert, as you say. However, 'Our Anniversary' has a breeder code of JALamazing. This "Basgoodas" name is unusual.

Seems this isn't bred by Kordes. Brad Alden-Brown from Rankin's Roses on Garden Guru states that 'As Good As It Gets' comes from "the breeding house in Canada, Brad Jalbert, & it's beautiful & it's lush & its got fragrance as well so it's as good as it gets".
