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.

Re parentage of Fairy Moss: New Penny × 12-59-10 (moss hybrid, Moore)

The Australian Rose Annual 1971, page 25 quotes
[Rosenmarchen (syn Pinocchio) x William Lobb] x New Penny.

Charles Marden Fitch in 'The Complete Book of Miniature Roses', page 50 confirms
.....finally resulting in a cross of a floribunda moss rose [Pinocchio x William Lobb] crossed with pollen from miniature 'New Penny'......

Patricia,

12-59-10 is a "breeder" rose that Mr. Moore never released to the public, but used for breeding purposes only. If you click on the blue pollen parent, it will take you to the rose page for that rose and you will see that the parentage IS 'Pinocchio' x 'William Lobb'. Since this was truly a "break-through" rose, we have reported the parentage as Mr. Moore prefers to see it listed.

Smiles,
Lyn

Of course, of course. Why didn't I think to do that.
Thanks Lyn. There is so much to discover in this fantastic site.
