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.

'Galway Bay' is a must if you have room for it. Somewhere between cerise pink and vermilion, it is very free flowering and can be used as either a climber or a pillar. Very vigorous, medium length grower with clusters of big, grandiflora-type blooms.

Review of Newer Roses, 1974-75 Season.

p101. Allan Clarke. Climbing Roses. The natural climbers like 'Galway Bay' and 'Bantry Bay' send up strong leaders from the bud union; after pruning back all laterals to two or three eyes and cutting back the leaders to strong wood you will probably have too many leaders for your space, so cut out the oldest wood at the base.
p144, Isobel Coulston. Review of Newer Roses, 1973-74 Season.
'Galway Bay'. Six reports. Three years. Rating 7.0. Christchurch: Best climber we've got. Flowers burn a little but hundreds of them. Repeats. Healthy. Blenheim: Not as prosperous as expected.
