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.

Editor [?] ‘The Fairy’, described as a light pink Polyantha bred by Bentall in 1932 from ‘Paul Crampel’ x ‘Lady Gay’ in MR12. ‘Paul Crampel’ is a Polyantha, but which ‘Lady Gay’ are we talking about? There were two of them, both dated 1905, one a Hybrid Wichurana and the other as Hybrid Multiflora. Its growth is more consistent with the H. Wich . On the other hand, Polyanthas were bred from R. Polyantha, which is another name for R. multiflora, so why aren’t they also Hybrid Multifloras?
Modern Roses 5 gives the parentage as “sport of ‘Lady Godiva”, which is a pale pink sport of the once flowering rambler ‘Dorothy Perkins’. They are both H.Wich. I believe the growth is more consistent with the earlier definition, although it is dwarf and remontant. It is distinctly Wichurana in nature with its thorns and glossy foliage. For purposes of showing, it is more consistent with the Miniatures, especially since Ralph Moore used Wichurana in his early Miniatures.

Jack Harkness used 'The Fairy' to produce a number of small, dense-growing Polyantha Roses, for example 'Fairy Crystal', 'Fairy Damsel', 'Fairy Maid', 'Fairy Like', 'Fairyland' and 'Fairy Snow'. All are excellent disease-free bushes with small, dense foliage and little trusses of pompon-shaped flowers.
