The best way to find your plant: click on the Plants Database tab at the top left side and then you can simply type in the cultivar name of the rose in the search box. Occasionally, that name could be shared by other plants like iris or daylilies etc., you simply select the plant that you want. You can also browse by genus (rosa) and look for the cultivar alphabetically, which is helpful if you are unsure of the exact spelling.

I will try to get my pics uploaded soon. Thanks for your forum!

I still can't figure out how this works.
Theres no place to add a photo just information???

Find the entry you are looking for in the search box and then scroll down, there is another box below the info that has all these options:

» Add a photo to this entry

» Post a comment about this entry

» Edit this entry

» Delete this entry

» Change photo order

Although those options may be slightly different for you, I have more as admin.

» Suggest data updates for this entry

Poor Vicky couldn't find the entry (for Lillian Gibson) because it wasn't in the database. She created an entry and I approved it not long ago, so we should see some fabby photos soon.

Ahhh, that's why she never saw the photo part! (gotta read that fine print)

Thanks Vicky! and now we are waiting, .....waiting...tap, tap, tap...

Well I couldn't find my nicer pics of LG although I added 2 pics.
I have so many photos and they are getting a bit disorganized.
I have a rose folder for every year but some how those folders get tucked into other garden folders and oh my
I will post more when I find them.


Ok so now I got it...if the rose isn't in the data base we submit one for approval, then we can add pics...right?

Yes, that's right, CR. If there isn't an entry, you can submit one or you can send me a tree-mail or c-mail and ask me to create one. You can't add the photos until the entry is there.

I just approved your LG photos. They are beautiful!

FYI for anyone that may not know this, you can directly propose your images off your post to the database. Just enlarge your image and use the [Propose image for the plant database] link at the bottom, run a search by cultivar name and then click on it, proceed and all done! Super easy steps.

Is there an entry for Lady Banks roses? I was going to add a comment, but I couldn't find anywhere to put it.

Until Dave sets up the search function to include all known names, we (or at least I do, Zuzu probably knows them all!) have to do a quick search on HMF to see what the exhibition or main name is http://www.helpmefind.com/rose...
R. Banksiae Lutea Lady Banks Yellow (Rosa banksiae 'Lutea')

Okay thanks. So I now know mine is the white Lady Banks which is R. banksiae banksiae, and I still can't find her.

That's because it isn't there. I'll create it for you. Back in a flash.

Here it is, Porkpal:

White Lady Banks (Rosa banksiae)

Sure enough! Thanks, Zuzu; I guess I ought to find a picture for it too.

I'm beginning to feel like a pest, but now I can't find Seven Sisters.

I can't find it either! Who's the elitist that put together this database and included all the obscure roses while leaving out some of the most common ones?

I'll make the entry for you as soon as I feed the cats. Fatty Fatty #9 is yelling at me through the window.

Oh, it has a million alternative names. I'll add the details later. Here's the bare-bones variety, Porkpal.

White Lady Banks (Rosa banksiae)

Again, thanks Zuzu.



Um, that link took me to the Lady Banks page...

Fatty Fatty #9? I am NOT yelling at you!!
