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.

Bishop's Lodge Mary Matthews seems to be missing from this list. Also Aimee/Amelia Anderson as well.

"Mary Matthews" now back on the list of plants discovered by The Bishop's Lodge volunteers. At one time it was thought that it may be the same as "Kew Cemetery Pink", but others have since advised that it is different.

"Bishop's Lodge Amelia Anderson" was not on their list as it has been identified as 'William R, Smith' and is listed as a synonym of that rose.
I have added the discoverer (Bishop's Lodge) back in, but am not altogether happy with the listing for the rose as it is not shown which of the synonyms was discovered by Bishop's Lodge - although it is quite obvious.

I have found that it is quite useless in trying to help identify these particular old roses as, unidentified, they have some mystique and are more of a money spinner to help raise upkeep funds for the Lodge.

True, I grow 'Muriel Linton' and still call it that rather than Hadley.
The Bishop's Lodge roses are good examples, in my opinion, of how found roses can be named to give them a better commercial prospect.
