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.

Does anyone have a Rubens rose that has any thorns? I thought I had identified an unknown, mislabeled rose I got from Rogue Valley Roses (and which they replaced promptly with the right rose) as Rubens. However, I was at Descanso Gardens and inspected their Rubens plant and found not a single thorn, even on the very old wood. My plant has exactly three thorns -- all on very old wood. Does that mean it is not really Rubens?

right. i have counted 3 prickles on my plant that came from frenchtearoses/la roseraie du désert (dép.gers, france). the first plant of rubens that originated from sangerhausen rosary behaved the same way.
