'Linda Campbell' rose Description
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.

Notes:
Lloyd Brace of The Roseraie at Bayfields says that although one parent is a miniature, this rose is a big, wide, vigorous shrub. It has clusters of double 2.5" blooms that are scarlet red and come in repeated flushes throughout the summer...
The lady for whom this rose is named came from Denver, Colorado.
Sam Kedem says this rose has few thorns.
This rose does have far fewer prickles than would be expected from a Hybrid Rugosa, but what it does have are large, sharp and hooked. They are scattered along the fuzzy canes, so it is more lightly prickled than you would expect, but not "thornless".
