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 just ran across the following interesting text in The Gardener's Monthly, vol. 28, 1886, p. 350:

___

"Some years ago, Mr. Henry Shailer, then of the Chapel Nursrey, Battersea Fields, contributed to the Gardener, Florist and Agriculturist, an account of the first red Moss rose. He states that it was first sent over with some plants of Orange trees from the Italian States to Mr. Wrench, then at Broom House, Fulham. This, according to Mr. Shailer, was about the year 1735. It remained in that family nearly twenty years without being much noticed or circulated, until a nurseryman named Grey, of the Fulham Nursery, now Messrs. Osborn & Sons, brought it into note."

This red Moss is referable I believe to what I list in The Old Rose Adventurer as the old Moss 'Rubra'. The story above agrees in time frame with what is reported there about Mme. de Genlis introducing 'Rubra' from England into France in 1777; obviously when Mme. de Genlis ran across it, it had already been in England for a few decades; and so we get some more clarity on this variety's early career.
