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.

I don't know, but I have just done a physical check of every issue of Modern Roses (I don't have No. 11) and they all, from Modern Roses 1 to 10 showed 'Fraulein Octavia Hesse'.
2007 Modern Roses 12, page 170 showed 'Fraulein Oktavia Hesse'.

Perhaps a German member might enlighten us on H. A. Hesse and his wife who apparently lived in Ems.

The correct name is definitely "Fräulein Octavia Hesse", although German publications are also not consistent. However all early references, as well as a letter of Mr. Hesse to "Deutscher Garten" spell the name with a c.
