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.

(AusledA Shropshire Lad
Large, perfectly formed, slightly cupped, light peach-pink rosettes, with a lovely fruity Tea fragrance.  A vigorous climber with plentiful large, dark green leaves.  David ļ¾ Austin, 1996. [...]
The name is taken from A.E. Houseman’s cycle of poems about his home county, where our rose gardens and nursery are situated.  The poems, published in 1896, celebrate the pleasures of a rural life.  David CH Austin, born in Shropshire, is himself a Shropshire lad.

From their Leander Group. Approximately 90 petals. Repeat flowering. This is a strong-growing, healthy shrub with large, glossy leaves that may well benefit from summer pruning. The flowers are cup-shaped in the early stages, opening to form attractive rosettes; their color being a soft peachy pink. It is in every way an excellent, hardy and reliable shrub of above average size, with few thorns. Delicious fruity fragrance in the tea rose tradition.
