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.

R. polyantha was first described by Philipp Franz von Siebold and Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini in their Flora Japonicae familae naturales. Although not originally described as a hybrid , R. polyantha has been discussed as a natural cross between R. chinensis and R. multiflora Thunb., both roses native to eastern Asia (China, Japan and Korea)...

The dwarf Polyanthas, or as they are more familiarly called, the “Poly-Poms,” originated from a cross between a Tea Rose and Polyantha simplex. In the Rose Annual for 1916 Mr. Walter Easlea, writing on this class, states that the first variety was Paquerette, which appeared in 1875 ; and though others followed, I think the two varieties which first made their way into many rose gardens were Cecile Brunner, 1880, and Perle d'Or, 1884.
