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.

Parentage unknown. Van Fleet (USA) 1905. Description... The large 3 1/2-inch blossoms are very similar in form and color to those of 'Hansa' but the blossoms of 'Rugosa Magnifica' are slightly less double with a more open appearance. Also the light yellow stamens are more visible... do not confuse with the R. eglanteria hybrid 'Magnifica'.

Of the Rugosas, best are 'Belle Poitevine', 'Magnifica', and 'Hansa'. Don't underestimate loud, shapeless 'Hansa'. It is tremendously fragrant, and if you cannot abide its harsh cerise, plop every one into the 'rotting pot'. Other Rugosas smell as good, but these three have the most petals and make dense plants that never stop blooming.
