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.

'Coy Colleen'. Hybrid Tea. 3 - 4 feet. The McGredys in Ireland breed outstanding exhibition type Hybrid Teas, and 'Coy Colleen' is one of them. Originally named Blushing Rose, which describes it well, for the big magnolia-white blooms blush pink, the depth of color depending on the weather. Haven't seen this listed in other American catalogs. If you want a rose all your neighbors don't have. . . here it is, and if you exhibit in rose shows . . . win a blue ribbon with it. 3 for $5.25 each $2.00

Harry H. Hazlewood. The New Roses of 1954. Coy Colleen HT. (McGredy, 1953). Milky white, semi-double blooms with a pinkish flush on the edges. So far it looks like a cool climate variety which may ball in damp or wet weather. Will be up to exhibition form when well grown
