'Sylvia Louise' rose References

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.

Bill Shaw. Letter to the Editor.
....I then started breeding them. Oh, the fascination! It is so simple. Although it is usual to do it under glass, I planted a Climbing Ena Harkness against a warm brick wall as I didn't have a greenhouse. No crossing was attempted. The heps were left to ripen on the plant. The seeds were sown in the new year and most of the seedlings appeared in April. Some were crimson like one of the parents, 'Crimson Glory', and some were scarlet like the other, 'Southport'. Some were pink, some scented and most were shapely. The best was named after my wife, Sylvia Louise. She was so proud.
