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.

Margaret Furness, editor. “Ley’s Perpetual”
A rose of mystery: it was said to have been found by F. Ley in the U.K., before 1937, and introduced under this name by Sunningdale nursery in 1958. Other references say it is from before 1900, and was bred in Germany from Gloire de Dijon. The Vintage Gardens Book of Roses says it is a Tea-Noisette with much affinity to the Dijon group, with reliable re-bloom. Sweet Tea scent, described variously as moderate or outstanding. At present only ‘Saumarez House’ and Ruston’s are recorded as growing it in Australia. Ross Roses have a stock plant, but no-one is listing it for sale. Low-growing (with pruning) at Renmark, but said to reach 4.5m. Cream in the bud, becoming light yellow. Blooms in flushes. Rounded leaves. Hooked prickles.
