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.

Mr. C.W. Heers, Some Reflections from Queensland.
Then there were many fine show Roses and some garden varieties which seem to have disappeared altogether; for instance, that old and very reliable show specimen Bessie Brown, a Rose that would respond to any extra cultural attention, undoubtedly one of the finest light show Roses ever raised.

Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Bessie Brown. Hybrid Tea. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1899.) Massive, very double blooms of very light flesh-color; some fragrance. Moderate growth and bloom.
Buds often ball, but worth striving for. Not a strong plant, its energies going into its enormous flowers which are prized for remarkable beauty.
