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 pimpinellifolia....  Interessant ist ferner die Abart, wo Stacheln und Borsten an der Pflanze rasch verschwinden. Diese ist es, welche gewöhnlich in den Gärten als Rosa mitis, von Gmelin aber als mitissima (fl. bad. IV, 358) bezeichnet wird; ich habe sie aber ebenfalls im Oriente wild beobachtet. Graf Sternberg fand sie dagegen in Istrien und beschrieb sie als R. affinis (Flor. IX, Beil. 80). Mit Unrecht wird diese Pflanze in Koch's Synopsis rothblühend angegeben.

Translation:
Rosa pimpinellifolia ...Also interesting is the variety whereprickless and bristles quickly disappear on the plant. This is what is usually referred to in gardens as Rosa mitis, but by Gmelin as mitissima (Fl. Bad. IV, 358); But I have also observed them wild in the Orient. Count Sternberg, on the other hand, found it in Istria and described it as R. affinis (Flor. IX, Supplement 80). In Koch's Synopsis this plant is incorrectly described as having red flowers.
