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.

Légèrement odorantes, elles résistent bien à la pluie… Buisson robuste et bien ramifié, excellent en massif avec son feuillage dense, vert sombre et luisant, teinté de cuivre au printemps.

Harry H. Hazlewood.  The New Roses of 1951. Caprice (Meilland, 1946). Inner face straw yellow broadly margined with carmine while the reverse is rich yellow. A distinct and extremely attractive variety. This is the fourth rose at least to be given this name and since it is catalogued by the raiser and registered in U.S.A. as 'Caprice', it seems better to use the valid term associated with the raiser's name than to change it to 'Lady Eve Price' as was done in England.
