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.

Initial post 2 MAY by EllaPAz5
I planted my first bush of Grandma's Blessing in 2022 and fell in love with its beauty. Sadly it has not survived my ex 5b/ now 6a winter despite given winter protection (I give it to all my roses except Buck's and Drifts). I planted another one in 2023. It survived our mild winter of 2024 just fine. I uncovered it and all my roses in early April and gave it the fertilizer. I have noticed yesterday that, once uncovered, it began to lose it canes and has not put out leaves, while roses next to it are doing just fine. Since I uncovered my babies we had nightly frosts for a while, but nothing major, nothing below 23'. I am beginning to wonder if its zoning is correct. It looked fabulously healthy when I uncovered, gently trimmed and fertilized it. I have no idea what went wrong :(

Grandma's Blessing doesn't do well in my alkaline clay soil, leaves became bronze. It only gave 5 tiny flowers in 6 months. In the acidic pot at Home Depo it was loaded with flowers. The second year I gave it acid fertilizer for rhododendrons high in nitrogen. Its leaves became dark green, and now in May it has tons of flowers - gorgeous pink. It's hardier than Knock-outs in zone 5a, and better-looking as a bush. The leaves are glossy and disease free.
