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.

We have 3 Jacob's Robe roses, and they have beautiful flowers and lots of thorns. My question: how tall are they supposed to grow? Every, and I mean every, other rose in our garden had grown taller than it was supposed to, and these 3 "climbers" can not get over 5 feet. They look pretty on the sides of their trellis, but it would be really nice if they could make it to the top.

This is their 4th year. They have lots of water, sun, good soil and organic rose food in our Vancouver Island Zone 8 garden. I tidy them up in the spring, and deadhead throughout the year.

Any suggestions / advice would be most welcome.

Thank you...Pauline

Has anyone else had this problem? I want to use Jacob's rose as a climber, and I need it to grow to 10' or so. I live in NW Oregon, and my climate is similar to Pauline's. Pauline, did yours grow better in 2017?	REPLY

I just planted Jacob's Robe early this spring, as a bare root plant. It started growing well right away. It's already blooming with a few small clusters very pretty flowers. The color changes are interesting. Every morning, one of the first things I do is look to see how it's doing, and it always surprises me with some new color change. So far, it's looking like this may turn out to be one of my best roses.
