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.

p50. Dawn Eagle. Rose Classification. Two or three years ago I used 'Scarlet Meillandina' as the seed parent crossed with the pollen from a number of different miniature roses. Most of the seedlings from these crosses turned out to be floribunda type roses, with a large percentage showing old fashioned type flowers with many petals. The leaves were also floribunda size, even on quite small plants grown on their own roots. I have not tried to bud any of these seedlings, but I can guess that if they were on understock they would appear to be normal floribunda bushes. According to the theory above, I could still register these seedlings as miniature. Of course I won't. They won't even be mini-flora. I personally classify my seedlings according to the way they grow, the size of flower, leaf and internode, regardless of their parentage.
