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.

Above: The first flower on my grafted Celtic Blessings rugosa. At least, I hope that this is the rose I named 'Celtic Blessings' almost ten years ago...I have lost touch with Steve Beck, a rose lover who in 2004 liked the look of one of my rugosa seedlings in the garden and went to the hard work of propagating it and trialling it in other gardens. I gave it the name 'Celtic Blessings' and thought no more about it until this winter, when to my great excitement I spied the name 'Celtic Blessings' in the rugosa section of a Mistydown Perennials Catalogue. The nursery couldn't tell me anything about the rose except that they had obtained it from John Niewesteeg about four years ago, but I've taken the gamble that it is my original 'Celtic Blessings' and purchased ten. I have given several away, and the others I have bunged in the garden to see if it brings back any memories for me when it flowers. Yes...I'm sorry to say, but in the seven years since 'Celtic Blessings' left home, I really can't remember which of the rugosa seedlings it actually was! There were four different seedlings all growing in one small bed in what is now the pool yard, and over the years they have suckered and intermingled with each other. I have a feeling that the original shrub of 'Celtic Blessings' may have died, although it is hard to tell with all of the suckering going on.
