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 thought I had come across documentation a while ago that listed R. nitida with a lower hardiness zone than 4. I did a search and found a page entitled Landscape Plants for Alaska that was published by the Alaska Division of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry, Division of Agriculture. The page lists R. nitida hardy to zone 2. http://www.alaskaplants.org/Plant_report_page.php?&plantID=265

Is this sufficient enough information to make a change in the zone number? Thank you.

Yes, I think so, especially providing your comment detailing your reference. Thank you for your help in improving HelpMeFind. People often forget one of HelpMeFind's best features is the fact it is a mutable resource. HelpMeFind will never be "done".

This rose is threatened/endangered, so it would be excellent if those who have suitable conditions would grow it.

See list of threatened/endangered native US roses here: http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat?txtparm=rosa&category=sciname&familycategory=all&duration=all&growthhabit=all&wetland=all&statefed=all&sort=sciname&submit.x=61&submit.y=6].

I received this species from Paul Barden. After a few seasons it still would not flower for me in my tropical low desert climate garden near Palm Springs. It probably needs chill to flower. I eventually gave it away.

Reading Zukofsky's 80 flowers - 1989 - Page 214
Michele J. Leggott

Nitida means "shining" and, according to Gray, the rose flowers "in evening with fragrance of Convallaria"; that is, lily-of-the-valley.
