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.

Rose Jean Girin.—For some years past hybridisers have been trying to raise a Rose having a more extended flowering than the Wichuraiana or multiflora Roses, and at the same time retaining their rapid habit of growth. Up to the present these efforts have not been very successful, for most of the varieties introduced as Perpetual Ramblers are not Ramblers at all. For example, the so-called Perpetual Crimson Rambler (Flower of Fairfield) certainly has a longer period of flowering than the old Crimson Rambler, but it has lost the rapid and sturdy habit of the latter. Sylvia is another failure in this respect. It sends up most promising Rambler-like growths, but when the shoots reach 2 feet or so in length flower-buds appear at the tip and all further growth is arrested. These buds develop into a beautiful little spray of milk-white blossoms. I have only been able to find one truly Perpetual Rambler, and that is Jean Girin (Girin, 1910). The plant should be cut down to the ground the first spring after planting and it will then make fine long growths just like any other Rambler. During the second season these young shoots will produce a steady and continuous display of medium-sized sprays from June until September. These sprays are something like those borne by Dorothy Perkins, the pink colour being a shade deeper and the florets more compact and shorter petalled. For those growers who prefer continuity to a fleeting profuseness Jean Girin is just the thing. If well cultivated it will cover any structure quite as quickly as any of the Wichuraianas, and is quite as hardy.
