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 took about a year to establish itself and now it is non-stop blooms! This is a short shrub rose so don't place it in the back of the garden where other roses will hide it's beauty. Small flowers but a rich velvet carpet red. Grows well in the mid-Atlantic

This description of Dusky Dancer as a short shrub rose is interesting as Tasman Bay Roses (New Zealand) catalogue classifies it as a patio/climber. I recently planted it in a position where I expect it to climb, so I'm about to find out!

I grew it for years. It was a 4' x 4' green ball, with miniflora-sized foliage, and large sprays of miniflora-like blooms of black-red. No scent, but tons of blooms. Very vigorous, too, but it always stayed at 4'.

Five feet has been the extent of mine, two years on from my last post.
