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.

Notes:
Thanks to HMF user Dan Russo/NEroseman for the following information about Apple Blossom:
Compare Jackson Dawson's 'Apple Blossom' which he bred at the Arnold Arboretum outside Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1890's to Apple Blossom that was patented by the widow of Luther Burbank in 1932, USA Plant Patent 65. Note that the names and parentage are identical.

ARS shows the parentage of the Burbank Apple Blossom in Modern Roses as Dawson x R. multiflora even though the Burbank patent application lists the breeding as "apparently a hybrid of Rosa rugosa and Rosa multiflora.
