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.

('Dr. Schiwago')Description. Raised by Walter Gregory of Nottingham… he had a real success with this one, rather surprisingly because it is not what we think of as a 'popular' colour. The buds are red and the open flowers pink, verging on the 'shocking' variety.

Wendy Cussons HT Raised by Gregory, Nottingham, England. Introduced 1960. Parentage Independence x Eden Rose. Rose red. Often described as the 'perfect English rose'. Very high centred, elegant blooms with damask perfume that show a distinct preference for cool weather. Grown at its most beautiful in the northern countries of England. A worthwile exhibition rose as well as a reliable bedding rose. Bushes are branching and on the tall side, disease-free leathery dark green foliage. Perhaps its best recommendation is a list of some of its awards: RNRS President's Trophy, First Certificate Rome Trials, Award of Merit RHS, Golden Rose of the Hague.
