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.

This rose is highly vulnerable to black-spot in my garden... To the point of defoliation even though it is planted in a good location with full sunshine. The rose immediately neighbouring it is doing splendidly.
The blooms are quite small... Too small for the plant and the form and colour also leave something to be desired. The blooms last long enough yes, but I'd rather more impressive looking blooms whether or not they lasted as long. Even if this rose were black-spot free and kept its foliage, I would still be shovel-pruning and replacing it come tomorrow... In my opinion there are MANY superior reds out there.
For me this one's a dog.

Just in case in some years people wonder where the name came from, and also as it's one of my favourite roses:
"During its nursery trials ‘Carris’ exceeded all expectations in its capability to re-bloom, which it does very rapidly, producing wave upon wave of brilliant scarlet. Re-bloom cycle is among the most important characteristics in roses, it holds the key to maximising effectiveness and performance in the garden .
‘Carris’ is bold and bright, suitable to plant in any situation, and fantastic for cutting stems for indoors.
Colour quality is rich and pure, the scarlet of the fresh blooms eventually softening to cherry red. Growth habit is strong, broad and freely branching. Foliage is glossy and leathery, forming a dense foil of mid-green as a background for the blooms. Resistance to disease is good.
The right to choose the name for this new rose was auctioned in a great flurry of excitement by Terry Wogan in November 2006, as part of BBC Children in Need on radio 2.
The generosity of Mr and Mrs Worrall secured a whole package of gardening delights, part of which is the splendid ‘Carris’."
