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.

Peter Bamber. Review of the Newer Roses for the 2004-2005 Season. Miniatures/Patios.
'Scentillating Blues' (SOCblue). Eagle 2000. Garden rating 6.5, Exhibition rating 6.8. 8 bushes; 5 reports. Some health problems; moderate fragrance; medium height; lilac blue lavender flowers. Northland - something different, nice colour. Waitkato - bush is struggling but the unusual mauve flowers are scented. Very pretty. Canterbury - health problems have increased each season, sadly, as the fragrance is lovely. BOP - lavender colour but lacks vigour. It must not like light soils.

Gerard Williams. Review of the Newer Roses for the 2001-2002 Season. Miniatures/Patios.
'Scentillating Blues'. (SOCblue) Eagle 2000; 11 reports on 21 bushes; 1-3 years; 50cms; 7.0 rating. Lilac blue blooms, fragrant. Lots of reports on this new rose. Napier likes the colour and frilly petals. North Otago says the same and finds their bush healthy. Southland has a tallish attractive bush with wavy fully open blooms. Healthy with nice perfume. Auckland do not have a robust plant and not many flowers. Marlborough find the flowers fleeting and not many of them. Canterbury say very fragrant and good colour but needs time to establish. Another Canterbury grower finds it healthy with lots of new growth and very fragrant.
