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.

I love this rose it is such a beautiful surprise for me.

PB is already starting to climb up the obelisk that I'm training it on. The blooms are pretty, but unfortunately, they're not self-cleaning.

My "Perfume Breeze" plant didn't lose any of its leaves this winter, but it was an extremely mild one in Baltimore, MD. I gave Perfume Breeze a haircut a couple of weeks ago. I just pruned the dead canes and sheared the ends a little, like I do with other bushy roses (like the polyantha The Fairy, the mini Sweet Chariot, and the China Mutabilis). I noticed today that it's pushing up many new green sprouts. At this point its habit reminds me of my tall, bushy HM, "Darlow's Enigma" when it was still young. I'll tie up some of the longer canes on the obelisk it's growing against. Even last year's leaves look healthy.

June 25, 2019: Bought a very large potted plant of "Perfume Breeze" from a nearby Home Depot. It had a few overblown blooms on it; I didn't notice any particular fragrance, but it was evening and my allergies are bad this time of year. The plant had a bit of blackspot on a few leaves, but it had been crowded together with the other roses at the store, so I'm sure that probably didn't help. (Plus, EVERYTHING gets blackspot in MD.) I put the pot in the backyard and watered it well. I don't know when I'll have time to plant it; I still have to put together the obelisk it will be occupying. It's supposed to be 90+ degrees F here for the next few days, so I'll make sure it doesn't dry out.

First impressions: VERY prickly! Reminds me a lot of a hybrid musk in habit. I'll check to see whether it's own-root or budded when I transplant it.
