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.

The name changing of roses is currently causing a good deal of concern to quite a few people including ourselves. We have always tried to stay with the name the hybridiser gives the new rose, although translations from one language to another have not bothered us. 'Mona Lisa' has been changed to 'Australian Gold'.

Mattock exhibited a number of 1980 introductions....from Kordes. These included the Floribundas 'Australian Gold', a lovely peach colour with dark shiny leaves, named for the Australian Fruit Canning industry.

Mona Lisa (Kordes): Floribunda, with some claims to being of hybrid tea type. A beautiful colour and very free flowering, with lovely tinted foliage. Creamy apricot flushed with orange, pink, and gold. We cannot think of another floribunda in these beautiful colours.
