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.

Some All-Canadian Roses
by Fred Blakeney, Victoria, B.C.
The Federal Department of Agriculture Experimental Station at Morden, Manitoba, has been carrying on a rose-breeding programme for over 42 years. It is now under the direction of Mr. H. F. Harp, the object in view being to develop a garden rose that will survive the cold winters of the Prairies. Furthermore, it aims to develop winter-hardy roses having the repeat-blooming characteristics, Hybrid-Tea form, fragrance, good plant habit with disease-resistant foliage. This is quite a programme, and one which of necessity must take a number of years to achieve. However, they are well on their way, and have produced the following varieties:
"Prairie Maid", shrub, introduced in 1959, is of compact growth up to 4 feet in height. It is the progeny of ("Ophelia" x "Turkes Rugosa Samling") x R. spinosissima altaica. The foliage is of good texture and resistant to blackspot. The flowers are double with 25 petals and petaloids, cream and sweetly scented. Hardy on the Prairies, it blooms in July with a few blooms later.
