'Dorian' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Notes:

Who knows what its parents are. I was at San Jose Heritage Garden and collected seeds from the spinoissima section of the garden. It had a faded tag. I thought it could have been Harrison's Yellow, but it could also be any of the roses around that area. I fed the seeds to my pet ringneck dove, Dorian... hence, the name. I rescued Dorian in 2005. A friend had discovered her in the street, starving and sick. He gave her to me thinking I could save her. And I did. I thought she was a wild morning dove, but she's a very tame ringneck that could never survive in the wild. So, I kept her. This rose will probably be shared with others because it suckers freely, but it's not invasive.
