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.

Dr. A. S. Thomas. An Exhibitor's Opinion.
Mayfair: Clean, hard growth; free blooming. Flowers are very good in colour and form, but so far (three first-year plants) rather small. If it comes bigger I will plant a lot of them.

Mayfair Good growth, but the foliage has shown a tendency to mildew. It is, however, a lovely rose of good shape and colour.
p123. Mr. S. J. Bisdee. Tasmanian Rose Notes.
Mayfair is still very disappointing as regards colour, being a very washy pale pink. The plant is growing very nicely and will get another chance.
