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.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses
Alfred K. Williams. (Schwartz, 1877.) Magenta-red, shaded crimson, large and perfect, with beautifull imbricated petals; some fragrance. Moderate growth, but hardy and free flowering.
One of the most beautiful, but needs good care to bring it to perfection. The bloom is of the Alfred Colomb type and the plant much like General Jacqueminot. This and Alfred Colomb are almost the only survivors of a good old family of exhibition Roses of the highest class. Both of them require skilled care and cultivation to enjoy them at their best.

Gloire des Rosoménes (Vibert, 1825), a rose of an earlier generation than the others, and to which it appears we are indebted for Géant des Batailles and many otherbrilliant roses with red prickles, such as Alfred K. Williams. Probably also Générale Jacqueminot.
