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.

p60. Roy and Heather Rumsey, NSW. New Roses. 
Mister Chips HT. (Dickson). Yellow edged pink. The good quality blooms are produced freely on a nice compact plant. Good foliage, and fragrant flowers of good form, will ensure that there is a place in the garden for this new cultivar which has about forty petals.

p147.  Dr. A. S. Thomas Victoria.  The New Ones. 
Mister Chips. HT. (Dickson, 1970). The medium sized perfectly formed blooms have about 30 petals of deep golden yellow edged with red and cerise. Fairly strongly scented. The long erect stems are red. Growth and foliage are excellent. This is one of the most beautiful roses that I have ever seen and it is a truly all-purpose type. Within a very short time this must become one of the world's few top roses. As compared and contrasted with 'Susan' (reported later in these notes) the colour is deeper, the petals are firmer, the bloom is smaller, the foliage is more shiny and there are less thorns than on an average hybrid tea, which cannot be said of 'Susan'! The use of the word "Mister" is forbidden by the rules of nomenclature except in the instances of established personalities spoken of habitually in that way, e.g. 'Mister Lincoln' and 'Mister Bluebird.' In such usages the title must be spelt out in full and not abbreviated to "Mr."
