'Dame de Coeur' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Notes:

James Pius writes: As you can see, she is quite beautiful. The roses held on for a solid month and did not lose any petals (even when I cut the faded flowers off the tree, the petals never fell). The flowers only scorched/faded due to the intense heat (85 - 97F) in Toronto these past two weeks (July 2002). My neighbours absolutely love this rose and a few lectured me when I cut off the scorched blooms. People actually stop to take a closer look at this rose tree on their journey. It's so rewarding when you see parents lift their small children up to smell the rose. Fantastic!!! This rose tree is quite incredible. It survived the winter without any protection and look at the blooms this summer. No black spot, no mildew, amazing fragrance, long lasting huge blooms. It's my favourite to say the least. Each bud reminds me of the way lipstick red should be. I wish more nurseries carried it!!
