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.

I can't contribute any notions about ID except to say that a rose which has been found in multiple places, not in the same neighborhood, is unlikely to be a chance seedling.

I can say that it is one of the strongest, toughest roses I have grown. I had it in a southwest facing corner, bright sun bouncing off a wood fence, and it not only survived but flourished.

I do hope it remains in commerce, perhaps could be renamed "Guardian Angel" for better sales?

Does anyone have any theories on the identity? It seems pretty widespread. It could be inferred that it was a commonly known rose at some point?

This rose bloomed for the first time in June. Not well-known. The tea-like bud is urn shaped, 3", with the tips flaring outwards. The outer petals are off-white with the center pale apricot. Full, tossled petals fading to blush when open. Deliciously sweet fragrance. Little leaf spot despite almost continuous rain. Available from Vintage Gardens which may classify it as a tea-noisette.

Actually, in a cool climate, it can be pretty yaller.
