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.

Initial post 16 NOV 12 by Tomartyr
I planted this rose, bare-rooted, in the southern hemisphere winter of 2011, against an east facing wall where it gets good summer sun from mid morning till mid afternoon. In the first season it put on amazing, healthy growth with just a little powdery mildew from time to time. By autumn it had covered the two metre high wall to a width of two metres, but it produced not a single bud or bloom. This spring has been wet and cool, meaning a late season with many roses being in bud (mid November) but few yet being in full bloom. Virgo (Cl) has shown nothing but blind shoots to date, despite a generous dressing of potassium sulphate. It is perilously close to getting the chop.
