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.

... if not for the presence of a second rose and a third name 'General Schablikine' that has become thoroughly entangled with 'Monsieur Tillier' / 'Archiduc Joseph'..... if you look at the 'posture' of the blooms, you will see that those with glandular pedicels ('General Schablikine') tend to face outwards or downwards. This is due to the curved,. kinked or S-shaped pedicels.....

'Vestey's Pink Tea'  Old, Tea, Medium Pink, Repeat-Flowering. This rose was rediscovered by Mrs Vestey, although the original name is not known. 'Vestey's Pink Tea' forms a medium-sized, spreading bush with rather large, curved thorns and mid-green, semi-glossy foliage that is very free of disease. The flowers are deep rose pink with a cream base to each petal; a suffusion of cream runs through the pink. There are 30-40 petals, forming a full flower that is attractively cupped. The buds are well shaped and the blooms keep their color well. This variety will flower continuously in mild climates with the best flowers usually seen in autumn and winter. There is a typical Tea Rose scent. Zones 5-10. Parentage unknown.
