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.

Zone 10b (usda hardiness) . Partial afternoon shade. First bloom of a bareroot planted this year. Bought from Northland Rosarium. "About Face" . Zero rose fragrance, at least this morning, yet a pleasant and fresh-almost vegetable aroma. Despite my strong preference for heavily fragrant roses, I am very pleased. I feel something so endearing for this rose. I especially love the underneath coloring, incredibly pleasing to my eyes. And the saucer like shape of her bloom conveys a feeling of sweetness, childhood innocence and wonder. I know a little dramatic for a flower. Just my impression. So she's a keeper in spite of her lack of fragrance and presence of impressive thorns for her type. And she does have very long and daunting thorns, especially for such a tiny baby rose. Still I find her worth it.
