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.

Garvey HT. McGredy 1961. We have certainly secured a very fine batch of new roses from the famous McGredy Rose Nurseries in Ireland, and this is one of the best in the series. The slightly globular buds of bicolour pink are borne freely on strong stems, with a very tough, dark leathery foliage.

'Garvey' is quite a distinct colour, a rosy pink after the shade of 'Comtesse Vandal'. It has only to be half as successful as the latter to be a great find. A very strong grower, somewhat deficient in perfume, but may be good enough to overcome that handicap.
