    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.

    Should ‘Detroit’, ‘;Michigan’, ‘Michigan Perpetual’ and ‘Perpetual Michigan’ (http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.33029.3&tab=1) be merged with
    ‘Perpetual’, ‘Purpurea’, ‘Perpetual Pink’
    (http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.33032.0)
    The 1844 reference for ‘Perpetual Pink’ mentions a synonym of ‘Perpetual Michigan’.

    Art. II. Descriptions of Mr. Feast's Seedling Rubifolia or Prairie Roses. By the Editor.
    Perpetual Pink.—Synonyme. Perpetual Michigan. Flowers, medium size, rosy purple changing to rose, cupped and very double, resembling in shape the multiflora. Clusters, large, containing from ten to twenty blooms; foliage, nearly smooth, very dark green; spines, rather strong and thick, forming quite a pubescence on the peduncles of the flowers; growth, vigorous. How far this will prove a perpetual bloomer remains to be tried; we saw it flowering a second time in Mr. Feast's garden, in Oct. 1843, though its habit of continual blooming may be quite uncertain.
