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.

Patricia Routley.  The Phantom Rose "La Reine Victoria".  
Despite  what many of the books  say, the label "La Reine Victoria" belongs to no rose. 
Depending on which  rose you are referring to, you either have to: 
     drop   the la to come up  with the Bourbon 'Reine Victoria',  or 
     drop   the 'Victoria' to come up with the Hybrid Perpetual  'La Reine'. 

You  may   be able to distinguish  between  the  two by these  descriptions,  from  Brent 
C. Dickerson's The  Old Rose Advisor. 
Reine Victoria (Bourbon) Labruyere, Schwartz, 1872.   
Long willowy branches which hang and bend forlornly with the weight of the Spring bloom, made all the worse by rain, when the beauty of the globular blossoms becomes discernible to none but observant lizards and aesthetically-inclined ants.....the blossoms are a smoky lilac-rose.    Brent C. Dickerson.
