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.

Regarding the American China 'Washington'. From the D. & C. (David and Cuthbert) Landreth catalog of 1824. Five Chinas were offered as Indica or monthly varieties, including an unnamed seedling raised from seed by D. and C. Landreth and described as scarlet with white center and monthly flowering.

From Buist, American Flower Garden Directory, 1832. Washington. China. Raised by the old house of D. and C. Landreth, 1823-24. One of the first American seedling roses. Flowers crimson, with white at the bottom of the petals and frequently striped much more distinctly than Don Carlos. The foliage is a pale peculian green, with red nerves; it grows and blooms freely.
