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.

David Ruston, South Australia. Roses of Distinction.
'Thais' is a rose that for some mysterious reason has been overlooked. I fear this may be due to its habit of black spotting in some climates but in the whole of inland Australia it is one of the great roses of this country. It produces very long stems on a tremendous bush. It repeats extremely quickly and the old gold colour of the blooms which are lightly veined with red-gold at the edges are extremely well formed. This variety is definitely my best apricot-gold rose for picking.
