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 grew this rose eons ago, in the 1990s. I bought it as a tree rose, and the only tree rose I have ever bought. It was a gift for my friend's dad, who liked red.

The tree rose did very well, although I question the use of HTs on tree roses. Too top heavy. The foliage was always pretty, it bloomed a lot, and it was a very clear,bright dark red.

I have since bought a new clone of this rose, sans the tree part. Very few red HTs do as well in heat as this rose. Or they pink (Olympiad fades oddly). Or they are low on petals (Opening Night). Peak Performance, even with its sometimes muddled centers is a pretty good red HT. Its a lot like Ingrid Bergman.

I have since tried to figure out the lineage. If I had to guess, I would guess half of the lineage descends from the Karl Herbst line, maybe through Miss All-American Beauty, and half descends from the Red Planet line, like Precious Platinum and so on. The foliage is pretty unique, unlike most red roses.

I also bought mine at Lowe's, potted, in 2011. Each year since then, as the bush grows, I've been increasingly pleased at this "find".	REPLY
