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.

ROSA Indica: Varietates.
Indian Rose Varieties.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Roses with roundish seed-buds, and peduncles slightly hispid; flowers of the one are red, and of the other of a pale flesh-colour: leaves smooth: petioles prickly: leaflets oblong, with sawed edges: stem green, smooth, with red thorns at the base.
Our drawing was made from plants in the Nursery of Mr. Knight, who first raised them in the year 1816 by importations received from a Bengal vessel, and called them Rosa Bengalensis rubra et alba. They are, however, only seminal varieties from the Common China Rose. Their period of inflorescence is mostly during the summer and autumnal months; and when occasionally flowering under the influence of a cold atmosphere, the pale variety acquires such an accession of colour, that it appears a very different Rose from what it is when the sun's rays so far extract its colour, that it requires to be looked at in the shade to ascertain whether it is a white or a pale blush colour.

16. Rosa semperflorens. Rosier toujours fleuri.
Quatrième variété. Le Rosier de Bengale à fleurs blanches. Les fleurs sont semi-doubles, non véritablement blanches; mais les pétales, quand ils commencent à s'épanouir, sont mêlés de blanc et de rose, et même dans leur parfait développement, quoique devenus plus pâles, ils consevent toujours çà et là une légère teinte de rose.
