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.

Encyclopedia of Rose Science states this is Elsie Melton x Elina. There are other Wambach roses in that book possibly not on HMF, but unfortunately I have access to very little without paying for the entire book.

There can't be many more. All the Wambach Roses up to 2000 are in the data base and Catherine Wambach apparently died end of 2002.

I'm hoping someone has full access to that book to see if any were missed.

Her husband made one of the most beautiful HT roses I have ever seen then and even until now -- 'Catherine Marie', which is maybe named after her or another relative. Unfortunately, mine had a mosaic virus, like all other clones did. I culled it and it disappeared from the market. I regret not keeping it, but I also considered keeping it unethical.

His wife was Catherine M, so 'Catherine Marie' could well have been her full name.
