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.

This important heritage rose garden is only open on certain days by arrangement. The Brooks Rose Garden contains very rare Canadian- and USA-bred hardy roses that were used in breeding by Agriculture Canada's lines of Explorer and Parkland roses. In fact, some of the roses in the garden were thought to be extinct. Both named roses and unnamed seedlings used for breeding can be found here, bred by such pioneering hybridizers as Percy H. Wright, Dr. Frank L. Skinner, George Wallace, Walter Schowalter, Robert M. Erskine, Henry H. Marshall, Prof. N.E. Hansen, and Dr. Griffith J. Buck.
