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.

"Ruth's Steeple Rose" Hybrid China. No rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Tall, slender-caned. Unknown, found. ..Deep rose-madder flowers with folded petals in a formal array surrounding a tall green pointel, the "steeple." One of our favorites for bouquets as it is so unique, making a handsome foil for the green-eyed flowers of Mme. Hardy.

p29 Three roses embody the exceptional beauty of the Hybrid Chinas: "Ruth's Steeple Rose", "Ruth's German Rose" and this ["Mary Lawrance's Shell Rose"]. All have light slender canes, smallish formal flowers of many petals, and coloring that is out of the ordinary.
