'Wildeve' rose Description
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.

In 1995 seed parent unnamed seedling was crossed with pollen parent ‘Ausgold’. The seeds produced were sown in Jan 1996 under greenhouse conditions. From the population of seedlings produced, the best seedling was selected from which six buds were taken and grafted to ‘Laxa’ rootstock. This seedling was given the name 'Ausbonny’. By budding, plant number was increased to 600 by 1999, and 5000 by 2002. Throughout the multiplication cycles this seedling appeared to be genetically stable. Selection criteria: English style rose with good fragrance and disease resistance. Breeding directed by D.C.H. Austin, of David Austin Roses Ltd, Albrighton, England.
