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.

[From www.welt-der-rosen.de] Max Krause (1880 Nordhausen - August 8, 1937) established 1913 a nursery in Witley, Surrey, England together with Wilhelm Kordes. From 1914-1919 they were interned on the Knockaole Camp on the Isle of Man as enemy foreigners. After the War he established a nursery in Alvesloh, Holstein, Germany, later moved to Hasloh.

[From Die Gartenwelt, 1937:] Max Krause - Hasloh. On Sunday evening, August 8, died suddenly in Hasloh the well-known gardener and rose breeder Max Krause...Born in Nordhausen...Max Krause learned the trade in the nursery of Hesse in Blankenburg...

[From 12. Internationaler Gartenbau-Kongress, 1938, p. 205:] The late Max Krause had since some years crossed with some rust-free OGRs. The first result of this work is to be commercilaized next year. He found out correctly that the hardy and floriferous Centifolias are only missing bright red colours.

[From The Rose Annual, 1959, p. 34:] [Wilhelm Kordes says] When Max and I came home after the First World War we both started with macrantha 'Daisy Hill', and raised a lot of seedlings. The seed of macrantha germinates badly, so after some years we only used it as the pollen parent
