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.

I'm having trouble posting a reference.

The Gardener's Magazine And Register of Rural & Domestic Improvement
The Gardener's Magazine 8: 110 (Feb 1832)
Mr. Pope, sen., [Luke] has travelled through the greater part of the United States, and has introduced a number of American plants. Among these is Rosa palustris, the flowers of which are double, and the leaves scented like those of the sweet briar. All the wild roses in America, Mr. Pope informed us, have scented leaves.

Reference added, but wasn't it meant for Rosa palustris?

What was your issue?

Andrews (1809) wrote that 'Rosa eglanteria Americana Andr.' "was introduced from North America, about the year 1801, by Mr. Pope, a nurseryman near Birmingham"
I wanted to add the little detail about Mr. Luke Pope, who apparently collected this rose on his travels.
