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.

[From "Why Heritage Roses?", by Dominique Massad, pp. 20-23]
The quest began with a variety of Polyantha rose which I acquired in 1985 from a Dutch plant catalogue and which was misnamed ‘Destiny’, a hardy plant with pale yellow blooms, marginated with pink. As the flower ages, the pink becomes dominant. To reinforce this trait I did crosses with the Tea Noisette ‘Rêve d’or’ (Ducher 1869) and with the China ‘Comtesse du Cayla’ (Guillot 1902), both of whose colors vary according to the temperature. From among the many descendants obtained, those showing these traits the most were continued to be used. Actually, several of those I obtained have flower buds that are yellow but which turn either red or pink as they open. Some have been put on the market, such as ‘Monique Lestournelle’, ‘Marseille en fleurs’ or ‘Rosomane Janon’ whereas others such as ‘Tendre émotion’ are still being tested.
