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.

The variety nicknamed 'Never' was a seedling raised by Dennison Morey, then with Jackson and Perkins in the United States This 'Little Darling' X 'Goldilocks' semi-climber was absolutely outstanding in Ireland. In fact, I would still place it as one of the best roses I have ever seen. I could not interest Gene Boerner of J and P in it, but he told me I could breed ·on it, and then burn it, which I did. To burn such a beautiful and outstanding rose was a shame. He never did see it under Irish conditions, and it was never marketed-hence the nickname. The ochre-yellow colouring was years ahead of its time. 'Coventry Cathedral', 'Liverpool Echo', 'Mme Bollinger', 'Kapai' and 'Sunrose' all have 'Never' in their blood.
