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 looks beautiful in the photos, but I wonder how it can stand up to a hot sunny climate? I notice amongst the photos one that was taken in Texas, with the comment that the subtle colouring and cup-shaping of the blooms was not present "under these conditions". Does this mean that it tends to just be a fairly banal pink in heat?

Hello,
The flowers do very well in full sun in my garden in the south of France. Beware, it is getting very tall (mine has stems 4 metres high planted bare rooted in November 2018=>15 CM).
Best regards,
Huyustus

...another one of those Austins that wants to grow as a climber if allowed.... for anyone in a climate or zone similar to mine, the height given of 4.5 feet is very conservative unless you prune hard...
...mine is 8 foot tall and not stopping... needs a tall obelisk or even a small arch possibly... I'm not sure which way I want it to go right now....

...continuous bloom....

This rose looks quite beautiful, but I am afraid that a blanket statement, hardy to zone 5, which seems to accompany nearly all Austin roses, is not reassuring. Hardy in the sense that they do grow back in spring most Austins might be, but blooms tend to be few and far between, with 'Mary Rose' and the alba hybrid 'Royal Jubilee' being happy exceptions. Even my wimpy Tantau floribundas have better rebloom than do most of my Austins.
