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.

‘De Candolle’ is a moss rose bred by Portemer in 1857, found for sale only in one German and one French rose nursery. Light pink with a button eye, this full rose exhibits crinkled leaves much like a rugosa and allows no hold on its stems for the exuberance of bristles. It was named for the Swiss botanist, Augustin de Condolle (1778-1841) who improved Linneaus’ classification system, focusing on plant anatomy rather than physiology and taking into consideration the differences as well as the similarities of plants. He became the first director of Geneva’s botanical garden.
