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.

'Dinah Hall'. Released in 1985, 'Dinah Hall' is a rambler with unrecorded parentage....
'Dinah Hall' grows gloriously in many northern gardens. Ken notes record that there is a plant at Kemp House in Kerikeri behind the Loquat tree, but I could not see it there. He also notes other planting along the fences at the wool scourers, at the Viticulture Centre and at St. John's cemetery in Parramatta, New South Wales......

Ken Nobbs: From among the fortuitous seedling roses that I allow to grow where they appear, are two plants with abundant good health and drought-resistance that can produce strong scented double white flowers with segments of gold. I cannot recall any old world rambler with this characteristic. Now the autumn fogs are shrouding us in the Waikato, the buds are a blend of red and gold. The more compact of the two I call 'Dinah Hall' , the first English woman enrolled to come to New Zealand in 1808, and who was one of the four women aboard the Active who landed so long ago at Rangihoua in the Bay of Islands, and who lived with her husband and two children at Waitangi from September 1815 to January 1816. She nearly became New Zealand's first martyr when knocked senseless by a party of marauding Maoris..... The second seedling is 'Martha Clarke' or 'Clarke Memorial' ..... Shiny deep foliage is a characteristic of these plants. They will feature extensively in the new plantings we plant along our roadsides her at Te Kauwhata.
