    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.

    Does anyone here know the name of the found Tea rose that is thought to be 'Helen Good'? If I recall correctly it was from John Hook and there were plenty of photos in the file here which I wanted to look at again, but I simply can't remember what foundling name it was given. Thanks.

    I found this interesting description for Helen Good online in a 1917 American florists' catalogue.
    "HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet) — What the
    introducers say: "This is a true Cochet Rose,
    and after two years' trial in the garden we
    pronounce it as good if not better than any
    Rose for the garden ever sent out. We bought
    the entire stock of this Rose, paying $1,000 for
    two plants, this being by far the highest re-
    corded price ever paid for any Rose. The color
    is a delicate yellow, suffused with pink, each
    petal edged deeper, very chaste and beautiful.
    The color, with its immense size and exquisite
    form, makes it without question the greatest
    Tea Rose ever introduced, and we are proud to
    have brought it out."
