'Rosa rubrifolia X Rosa woodsii' rose Description
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.

Breeder's notes:
"‘RUBRIFOLIA x WOODSII’ - Wishing to produce a hardier Rosa rubrifolia and with an eye toward climbers, I took pollen from a 12 ft. R. woodsii I found in the wild and placed it on R. rubrifolia stigmas. Of the resultant seedlings only one had the rubrifolia colouring and it was even better than that of its mother. Attractive bush 10 ft. tall. Makes a few suckers. Root gall wasps are 'attracted' to it." (Walter Schowalter's comments courtesy of Margit Schowalter)
