Roses of Yesterday and Today
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.

Please call ahead to place your order as more stock is available in a sunnier growing area and there is not someone usually there to serve you. Your order can be prepared ahead of time for the day you plan to pick up.
Roses of Yesterday and Today was established by Francis E. Lester in the 1930's, continued by Will Tillotson, from 1948 to 1957, and carried on by Pat's mother, Dorothy Stemler, until her passing in 1976. Patricia Stemler Wiley and her husband, Newton Wiley ran Roses of Yesterday and Today for the next twenty years.
The third generation, Jack and Guinivere Wiley, have kept the garden open to visitors and roses available for purchase since 1996, and in 2009 teamed with one of the best growers in the business to bring many great rose varieties back into production as own root roses, including Arrillaga, Frau Karl Druschki, Phyllis Bide, Prince Camille de Rohan, Rosette Delizy, Reichsprasident Von Hindenberg, Souvenir de St. Anne, The Doctor and so many more. Please see www.rosesofyesterday.com for current availability.
