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.

Has anyone ever seen pale pink blooms on their Kakwa? In 2023, we had a very cold, wet April. When our Kakwa bloomed, it had blooms ranging from white to pale pink. In 2024, our Kakwa bloomed white again. Just wondering if we really have a Kakwa or something else. Or does cold weather affect the bloom colour on this plant? Thanks!

In my opinion 'Kakwa' isn't distinctive enough from the typical semi-double, white Rosa spinosissima to warrant having being named and introduced to the nursery trade. In fact, planted side by side they probably look virtually the same. And why wouldn't they, since this cultivar was likely a self-pollinated selection of this particular Scotch rose.

A most delightful spring once bloomer, there is much charm to be found in this plant. Our specimen is a rather large 7-8 ft in the shade, becoming extremely lax with the weight of bud. And what buds! Handsome striped ones plumping up for display of double creamy white blooms. The bloom centers are not bashful and open wide to a sweet extra point of interest. The foliage is healthy and decorative, as well as the striking fruit. An all-season shrub!
