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.

“Molesworth Yellow China-Tea”, collected about 90km NE of Melbourne. The flowers are small. They are rarely as yellow as the first photo, more commonly cream, sometimes with a pink tinge. They can be quilled. They are usually borne singly, and repeat well in good conditions. Fragrant but not strongly. Hips are round and yellow-orange. It makes a low spreading bush.

'Peace's China Tea'. - another quality rose. At least 2 layers of pink petals with a paler reverse, very heavily scented. rather unique and certainly worth growing.
(Not mentioned is the heavy rose-carmine flush the reflexes develop in warm weather. I find this rose after the style of 'Mme. Laurette Messimy'. Found in the Melbourne Cemetery. Ed. [Robert Peace].
