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.

Tipsy Imperial Concubine HT (Tea) Good, reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Compact, bushy. Le Rougetel, Reint; 1990 ...Massive eggs of pink, scrolled and rolled petals, quite deliciously fragrant. We believe this may be an old western Hybrid Tea, come finally home again, and have moved it from the Tea roses where we had offered it as a foundling from China collected by Hazel Le Rougetel.

Nigel Pratt. Some Autumn Roses. The next rose I came upon in this very mixed garden was 'Tipsy Imperial Concubine', looking, for a change like the illustration in Hazel Le Rougetel's book. Hazel discovered this rose on her trip to China and brought back a cutting which she gave to Peter Beales. He introduced it to his list, and we were fortunate to be able to add it to one of our importations. But it is not an early summer rose. The flowers don't open and I had never admired it greatly. Now suddenly, here it was, just as sumptuous as it must originally have been. I took its picture, inner petals resembling finest tissue paper.
