'Sunny South' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

Agree. I took cuttings in 2000 from the old school site in Yornup, Western Australia, of an old rose which turned out to be ‘Sunny South’. The school was relocated to Bridgetown in 1996 in anticipation of the construction of a heritage precinct which never eventuated. Ironically, the heritage rose still stands resolute in the empty school grounds, never fed, never watered, but still smiling and flowering at passing cars.

How tall would you say the old Yornup 'Sunny South' is Patricia?

Uuum... I haven't passed by there in a long time, but I would say 8 or 9 feet high.
Here is my ten year old clone of it, on its own roots. Mine is 8 feet - about (snake tracks in the dust nearby!)
