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 reader, curious in such matters, would, of course, like to have the names of these hypothetically blue roses, and here they are: Captain Ingram, rich purple; Celine Noiret, purple shaded with rose; Duhamel du Monceau, rich red shaded with violet; Elie Morel, rosy lilac; Exposition de Brie, crimson shaded with purple; Felix Genero, rose shaded with violet; Ferdinand de Lesseps, purple shaded violet; Gloire de Ducher, dark purple; James Veitch, deep violet shaded with carmine; La Fontaine, purplish crimson; and lastly, Unique, a lovely blue-tinted lilac Tea rose, which occasionally, when aided by warm, cloudy, damp weather, makes a near approach to the pure blue of the delphinium.
