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.

This rose appears to be offered by Rogue Valley Roses, but it is labeled as extinct or lost on HMF. Can anybody clarify?

I've emailed Janet Inada at RVR asking if this is correct. It should be interesting.

I'll guess there is another unrelated rose going by this name.

No doubt Robert, but it's the only way to correct the information. I hope all is good with you guys!

The one at RVR shows it is also a 1995 Tunningley intro....should be interesting! :)

RVR has to be incorrect. The original specimen was destroyed by Tunningley and was not distributed prior to it's demise.

Kim, did you ever get a response from RVR? Just curious...

Hi Tammy, Janet received the plant in question from Paul Barden. Corresponding with Paul led to his having received it from Robert Rippetoe. A three way between us reached the conclusion that what RVR has as "The Monster" must actually be Secunda, the Old Blush X Gigantea cross. Where RVR obtained their description of the rose they have I wouldn't know, unless it is from HMF, but the only rose Paul received from Robert and then would possibly have forwarded to RVR is Secunda. Avery never let The Monster out of his greenhouse, unfortunately.

Thanks Kim! I didn't see Robert's response below until just now. I thought maybe the Monster had escaped! LOL

This is likely a different "Monster". A new listing is likely needed. I'm verifying with the hybridizer now.

Per an e-mail message received today, A. C. Tunningley assures me he never shared this rose with RVR or others.

The RVR entry cannot be correct per this communication.

Best wishes, Robert
