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. hirtula rose photo

Rosa hirtula showing a leaflet on the left with 19! leaflets, possibly the most leaflets per leaf of any Rosa species in the world, and covered with hairs on the upper surface, too. My plant was given to me by Miriam Wilkins in 1984 but unfortunately I never learned her source. In 1983 it was reported the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard had a hirtula 10 inches [25.4 cm] in diameter but whether it still exists I would certainly like to know.

Closeup showing hairs on the upper surface which separates this species of hirtula (and for which it’s named) from the Chinese form. [I see the hairs are not easily visible in these photos posted on HMF but my original high pixel photos distinctly showed them, sorry.]
