'Bathsheba' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

In 2008 an unnamed seedling was selected to be the mother and an unnamed seedling was selected to be the father. The resulting seed was sown in January 2009, resulting in a number of seedlings. The best of these seedlings was then chosen for further trial and development. From this plant, in July 2009, 8 buds were taken and grafted (using the 'T'-budding method) onto Rosa Laxa rootstock outdoors. The following year, in 2010, the variety was considered good enough to be increased by grafting to 30 plants. Next year, in 2011, the increase was up to 200, and two years after that, in 2013, it was increased to 1,500. In 2015 the variety was increased by further budding to 5,000, sufficient budding for a commercial introduction in May 2016.
