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 first production of the single Red Moss Rose, in 1807, was a sport of nature ; my father sent some plants of Moss Roses down to a nurseryman of the name of Essex, in Colchester; on the receipt of a letter from that person, I went with my father to see it when it was in bloom; I took some cuttings away with me to bud; and fetched the original plant away in the following autumn to our nursery at Little Chelsea from there we sent the first plants out at 5s

"The Origin of Several Varieties of Moss Roses." By Henry Shailer.
The first production of the single red moss rose, 1807, was a sport of nature. My father sent some plants of moss roses to a nurseryman, named Essex, at Colchester, and on the receipt of a letter from that person, I went with my father to see the plant when it was in bloom. I took some cuttings away with me to bud, and the following autumn fetched the original plant to our nursery, at Little Chelsea, from whence we sent the first plants out, at 5s.
