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.

New for 2025 - ordered from High Country Roses
22 APR 20
received 4/22/20 from High Country Roses, own root, band size
Horse manure didn't work for me with this rose ... too alkaline. This rose prefers slightly acidic as own-root.
I like what Luxrosa wrote in forum about best scents:
"luxrosa
Bourbon: Mme. Ernst Calvat'
Damask: Celsiana, or La Ville de Bruxelles, both are also exquisite roses.
Scotch Burnet'- lily of the valley scented- with what a freind calls " high quality french bar soap" 'Altaica'
Rambler: The Garland.
Hybrid Musk: Cornelia and Prosperity. Prosperity is more sweet, Cornelia more musky.
Species: The Incense Rose, Rosa primula, its' leaves are so strongly fragrant it merits its nickname,(its blooms I'd rate 2 out of 10 for strentgh of scent) I also love Rosa moschata because it sends its scent floating around the garden on a warm humid breeze.
Old Garden Tea: Anna Olivier' and Etoile de Lyon'
Noisette: Secret Garden Noisette, most strongly scented Noisette to my nose.
Hybrid Perpetual: Marchessa B.
Pernetiana 'President Herbert Hoover' I am amazed at how strongly, and deliciously fragrant this rose is." Luxrosa in CA.
