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.

R. Marion Hatton. The World's New Roses.
A few days after the Jap raid on Hawaii (December 7, 1941), Fred Howard wired me that he was applying for registration of their new Roses under the names Anzac, Douglas MacArthur and Pearl Harbor. Registration was effected in due course, and the varieties were offered in this spring's catalogues. None of these is going to create excitement in the shows, but the gardener is going to like their respective plants.
Radiance sticks out all over Pearl Harbor, with flowers of just about the same colour, both inside and out, but the petals are much longer than those of its famous ancestor, making one of the largest buds we have, and each bud is alone on unusually long, smooth stems. The practically thornless canes are easy to work with. Unfortunately, Radiance's sweet fragrance is missing.
