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.

...Given ten more years then, these are the ten roses I would try again... Confidence (HT, Meilland 1951). I love the long, strong stems of this rose. Its petals of creamy pink were of great substance. With these two plusses, I'd certainly want to try Confidence again.

Treloar's have retained a wide range of the hybrid teas and floribundas which have vanished from the other catalogues (and I often wonder how they have managed this), roses such as 'Charles Mallerin', 'Anne Letts', Confidence and 'My Choice', 'Mrs. Sam McGredy' and many others.
