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.

Patricia Routley.  If I Could Only Grow Ten Roses. 
What do I call this next one?  There is a beautiful photo of it in Botanica’s Roses on p239 with the incorrect caption of ‘Feu Pernet-Ducher’.  Someone moved the labels in David Ruston’s garden where this photo was taken and the photo is that of the rose grown by David as ‘Kootenay’.  However, David has since admitted that his ‘Kootenay’ might not be the correct one.  Just what is it then?    I lean towards Mrs. Harold Brocklebank (Dickson 1907).  It was obviously a much loved rose and it came to me from Sheila Gravett as ‘Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria’; from two different gardens in Pemberton; and once from Kojonup.  I need to have it in my garden for the long hot days of summer when it is the star performer.
