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.

Moss Roses, common and gracilis. — If I were restricted to the cultivation of only one Moss Rose, gracilis would be my selection. It is the most beautiful of all the Mosses, the deep pink buds being well surrounded by Moss. When seen together, a great difference is manifest between the common pink and gracilis, or, as it is sometimes named, Prolific. In the first place the colour is a deeper pink and the growth is much more dense. As regards the mossy characteristic, there is little difference in the two kinds. For cutting, gracilis is the better of the two. These Moss Roses are freely increased by layers; indeed, there can be no question that this method of propagation is best for all old-fashioned summer Roses where they are planted as permanent features in borders or shrubberies.
