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.

The rose named Olga in Roseto Botanico “Carla Fineschi” was bred, according to the label, by Domenico Mansuino in 1978. How it cames it to be attributed to NIRP it is not clear.
It may be relevant the fact that on the 20th of November 1991 Paul Pekmez applied in Italy for the registration of the Trademark OLGA (n. RM1991004063) and the registration (n. 000614502) was issued on the 30th of December 1993. Actually Pekmez applied in Italy for tenths of roses and many applications were lately retired/rejected because those roses were already patented by the true breeders ....

The NIRP rose is said on the internet to be "true pink" and I suspect it may in fact be one by Delforge in 1988, but I have nothing to support that conclusion. We've opened a new file for the Mansuino 1978 rose and moved your photos. (Love the label photo! But it works.)
