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 new rose derives from Delicata, originated by Father Schoener, well-known priest-horticulturist now living in Santa Barbara. The elder Reiter got it by “selfing” (pollenizing with its own pollen) a Delicata 3 years ago. From over a hundred seedlings he selected this new rose. The grandparents of this rose are Rosa gigantea and Cecile Brunner. Dr. Gallwey is a strong climber, with clusters of white flowers about 2 inches wide with attractive yellow stamens. Each cluster bears an average of 50 flowers. Last year Mr. Reiter found one cluster which had 75. Dr. Gallwey comes into bloom about the third week of May and lasts until the end of June. The blooms scent the whole garden with a fragrance like that of wild roses mixed with that of wild almond blossoms. By hurrying to Mr. Reiter's garden at 1195 Stanyan St., San Francisco, Bay Region gardeners can perhaps still see and smell a trellised specimen, about 12 feet high and 4 feet wide, in bloom.
