    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.

    from LA.. ...This is a HUGE mountain of a thorny rose that blooms very heavily with a strong Sweet Afton type scent. My bush is about 61/2 ft. and returns to heighth rather quickly with huge canes when I've tried to keep it lower. The blooms have a nice bud but open quickly without the best substance. One can cut rather tight buds with long stems, they will open well when cut and there is always plenty of them . Along with White Sails (New Zealand sport), Pope John Paul, Margaret Merrill and White Lightning it's at the top of the class of the most fragrant white roses. If you collect white roses, I think this rose is hard to find, so if you're in LA let me know and I'll be happy to give you a cutting.
