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.

The polyantha Sunshine, listed as the parent for this rose and a few other roses, is incorrect. According to the patent, Sunshine is a hybrid tea. Only 3 images of the patent can be seen with a plugin of some sort. The patent for PP3791 says that it was bred by William A. Warriner for Jackson and Perkins in 1974. It is a hybrid of Golden Sun (unpatented) x South Seas (PP2184). It was bred for the greenhouse and garden alike, it states. it is described as buttercup yellow that opens up into being lemon yellow. Growth is listed as vigorous upright and branching. It states that the foliage was semi-glossy, and that has a decent resistance to powdery mildew. Also, it states little to no fragrance.

From the lineage and overall description, it sounds like a taller HT like a lot that descend from both parents.

Hi. Thanks for the correction. The hybrid tea SUNSHINE, Plant Patent 3791, isn't found in Modern Roses. We'll have to add it to HMF.

That would be awesome. It seems to be an important parent of some modern roses, and it will lighten the confusion between the bajillion roses named Sunshine. I can see why the name was overused, though, lol. :)
