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.

This is one of my new favourites! It's like Black Baccara had been shrunk with a laser beam (or some other contraption) and the result was Black Jack. The blooms are perfectly formed, blackish-red, have a velvety sheen on the petals, and they are only 1 1/2 inch (4 cm) wide when fully open - only 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) when opening. The blooms do fade in sunlight, to burgundy red when fully open, exposing their bright yellow stamens, giving the flower a cheerful look. I like them in all stages of opening.

Blooms come singularly on a cane, or in groups of three. My plant has been waiting in its pot in a completely sunless spot so it grew a bit wobbly canes. I will report back on the cane situation when it's in a proper spot. It should be fine.

I haven't had Black Jack for long, but so far it's perfectly healthy and free-growing, and I think it makes a very worth-while addition to my garden! Will add pictures, as HelpMeFind doesn't have any.

My own root roses came back very vigorously this year even though we had a very severe winter last year (Chugiak, Alaska).
