"Birte Venske's No. 2" rose Description

My HMF:

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.

“Alice Red" found by Alice Dadd, Mullalyup, Western Australia prior to 2001.
"Birte Venske No. 2" found by Patricia Routley in 2003 growing under a window of a vacant house in Manjimup, W.A. (recently purchased by Birte Venske) in 2003. It was a low bush (1m?) at the original site.

Superb clean green new foliage in late winter.

Possibly the same as “Red Ethel”.
‘William Orr’ 1930 may be a contender.

‘Lady Charmion’ 1923 is yet to be researched.
‘Mrs. Harold Brookes' Alister Clarke's 1931 HT been discounted because of its new foliage in winter (i.e., May and June).
