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.

.....Adamsons [sic] introduced from the Western District of Victoria the climber Marion Manifold which in 1931 was described as undoubtedly one of the finest climbing roses in the world. Because of its name, that of one of the best-known families in Western Victoria, the introduction of this rose was constantly ascribed to Alister [Clark] and he was at pains to deny any credit, though it was a rose he admired.

Miss Marion Manifold blooms a little later than most varieties and is occasionally grown as a bush or a standard. It is then a beautiful sight in the Spring, but is too rampant in the Autumn and produces very few blooms.
