'Annie's Song' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

I have to advise that 'Annie's Song' is not a climber, in the real sense or the accepted sense. Perhaps enquiries should be had of the person who advised it as a climber to 10 ft. Perhaps it sported?

There is a plant growing in Beijing Botanic Gardens, and I once propagated several onto 3ft. standard stocks, something totally impractical to do with a climber or tall shrub.

Hello Laurie,
There has been much written on this beautiful rose and we have now included three of the references for it. The "climbing" information in Botanica's Roses first edition was an error and corrected in their second edition.

As of 1992 there was a slight doubt about the parentage of 'Annie's Song'. One day we will get to the later references and perhaps they will enlighten us further.

Ian (Spriggs) would certainly know the truth, but I can assure that the seed parent is 'Granada'.
