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.

Jack Christensen (1949 Glendale Ca. - March 10, 2021) was a dynamo. He has hybridized over 80 roses. He is the youngest individual to ever have developed an All-American Rose. He is also one of the first major rose hybridizers to set up a site on the Worldwide Web. There are a number of photos of his roses on his site, by the way. He has been an independent rose hybridizer since 1987.
[From Botanica's Roses, p. 677:] Christensen succeeded Swim at Armstrongs and has been active since the 1970s...
[Some of his roses were registered in conjunction with H.C. Swim and you'll find them listed under "Swim and Christensen".]
