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.

Per discussion with Fred Boutin, this rose may be Queen Mab.

I haven't seen 'Queen Mab' in person, but this rose never shows pink, at any time of the year or at any stage of its bloom, in my experience, and is consistently a true apricot (like 'Lady Hillingdon'), unlike what the photos of 'Queen Mab' show (except of course for the time it bloomed pure white, as in the photo I just put up - and below!).

A most interesting photo Deborah. I can't help thinking of the 'Lady Roberts' which periodically changed from yellow to white. See "Blanche Roberts".

Well, Patricia, what an interesting observation! Perhaps some affinity with the 'Lady Roberts'/'Anna Olivier' line? The color on this rose can fade precipitously in certain weathers. Here are photos of a half-open bud this morning, after it rained all day yesterday. There are still traces of apricot color deeper inside, but the color is overall very pale.
