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.

Andrew Gibson.  Roses on Commonwealth War Graves.  
....when it occurred to the CWGC that it ought to have its own special rose, Harkness suggested a poppy red seedling similar in colour to the poppies of Flanders.  It had all the desired qualities of low cushiony growth and length of flowering.  The CWGC Commission suggested it be named Remembrance but invited suggestions from supporters.  There were hundreds, but ‘Remembrance’ prevailed. The rose was launched at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1992.

Peter Harkness: …..I have a problem with reds, due to red / green colour blindness. One I can appreciate and enjoy is Flor. ‘Remembrance’. (HARxampton). Its rich unfading shade of poppy red, deep and bright, makes it poignantly appropriate as the rose chosen for widespread use by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The flowers are carried on short stems on low, neat growing plants.
