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.

Roberts & Humphreys: Colour in Roses. The Rose Annual (1980) pp. 133-136
Although the flavonoid pigments of a great many garden varieties of roses have been investigated, it would appear from the literature on this subject that investigations on species roses have been far from exhaustive. It is, therefore, quite possible that new pigments still remain to be discovered. Obviously there is considerable interest in whether or not the flavonoid pigment known as delphinidin, which is able to confer a delphinium blue colour, is present in the genus. It has, in fact, been found by the Japanese biochemist Arisumi in the variety 'Samba' (Kordes 1964) but only in the leaves.
