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.

These have been growing very well at the Rudolf van der Goot Rose garden. It's one of the roses I don't need to spray with fungicide, and it stays nearly perfect and with no defoliation all season. And once it starts blooming, it doesn't pause. It's a great rose for easy color, and its color isn't often seen in such healthy roses. Highly recommended for the Mid-Atlantic area in the United States.

I think the flower size at 4.75" may be overstated. The plants I've seen at the South Coast Botanical Gardens in Palos Verdes, Ca. have flowers of approximately 3"	REPLY

LADY ELSIE MAY is on sale at OSH for $9.99 as a small bush in a 1-gal container. It is blooming and has a rather 'flowing' growth pattern similar to BETTY PRIOR. I'm here in Silicon Valley, CALIF.	REPLY

I bought one of these roses (Lady Elsie Mae not May) at the beginning of last summer and never got around to planting it until the following spring - I live in Maryland and the poor rose sat in its thin plastic pot through snow and ice and freezing temperatures and it did just fine (would probably make a great container rose.) When I finally planted it, this rose just grew like crazy and has been blooming ever since. It gets a lot of sunlight (probably 8-10 hours a day.) My Lady Elsie Mae also seems very insect and disease resistant, even more so than my Knock Outs. I did see a lot of aphids on it in the spring but they didn't seem to do any visible damage.
