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.

What is written in the comment by Donald's Roses Garden about this variety is very correct. It's not a typical Gallica. 'Dumortier' makes a good-sized, branching, thorny shrub, larger than most Gallicas and little disposed to sucker (my two plants are grafted, and have been in the ground about ten years). Its heavy, bendy growth reminds me rather of the Damasks. I tend to forget about it, though the shrub and flowers are both handsome, but in a good year it can be very good indeed, and if I ever started another garden 'Dumortier' would be welcome to come live there. I can't comment about its hardiness as I live in a mild climate, but the plant is healthy and vigorous.
