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.
List customization using the above LIST OPTIONS feature is an advanced feature available to premium-membership members and sponsor listings.

"Choix des plus belles fleurs et des plus beaux fruits" (Selection of the most beautiful flowers and the most beautiful fruits) - A collection of 144 copper engravings by Pierre Joseph Redouté and printed in color by Panckoucke, Paris (1827-1833) - Plates partially enhanced with hand coloring. This one is Plate N° 122: "Rosa Indica - Rosier des Indes jaune". According to the period of years these engravings were made, this Plate most likely represents "Parks' Yellow Tea" imported from China by John Damper Parks and introduced to the R.H.S. in London in 1824, subsequently brought to France the following year by the rose breeder Julien-Alexandre Hardy and introduced in 1825 to the Royal Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, where its novel color made it a general favorite.
