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.

Rosa bifera alba ('White Four-Seasons Rose') Description... petals almost pure white, those at the centre cupped and crumpled, covering over the stamen rudiments... For a long while a rarity, this shrub is now found in almost all gardens. As in all Biferas, flowers appear early and again in the autumn, often up to the frosts, especially if during July one prunes and defoliates the shrub and waters during drought...

Damask Perpetual. The White Damask Monthly, or Quatre Saisons blanc, is of a pearly white color at expansion, becoming perfectly white shortly after; the flowers, like the preceding [Quatre Saisons], are in clusters, and highly fragrant, and the genuine variety blooms quite as frequently. There are spurious varieties of both the red and the white flowering, which seldom bloom a second time.
