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.

Mr. K. May, Manning, WA. I have had much success with a rose called ‘Orange Nassau’ – this is a delightful orange toned rose. Some growers find that this one lacks vigour but I have not encountered this problem.

C. C. Hillary, Western Australia. Do we expect too much from our roses? Personally I think we do. Only a few days ago, when a few of us were discussing a list of exhibition roses, I said “What’s wrong with including ‘Orange Nassau’ – it is a beautiful rose invariably well shaped.” The reaction was immediate. “It is a poor grower,” said two or three of those present. Well! Perhaps it is if its growth is compared with that of such roses as ‘President H. Hoover’ and ‘Charles Mallerin’. But I think such comparisons unfair. ‘Orange Nassau’ always grows into a nice bush in my garden and it produces quite vigorous growth within the limits of its own inherent capabilities. Only when it is planted alongside vigorous, tall-growing varieties does its growth show to disadvantage and that is not a sufficient reason in itself for condemning it.

Mrs. D. Marriott, Port Elizabeth, South Africa writes: ….A comparative new-comer is ‘Orange Nassau’ which, although it appears a short grower makes up for its lack of growth with the beautiful exhibition blooms of lovely colour and good lasting qualities.
