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.

“Red Runaround,” Ismert plot: Peter Ismert died in 1876 and Eva in 1900. Both of their headstones say they were natives of France. This original plant now covers almost the entire plot and survives every summer without water. Maybe the Ismerts brought it with them when they came over?

"Old Red Runaround" HCh. No rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Habit [diagram] 2. Found 20th c. [Provenance Robinson found]. Found in more old gardens, cemeteries and roadsides than perhaps any other rose in America, this small red pompon flowered rose is a true survivor.
