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.

Starfire  HT. Nice urn shaped buds reminiscent of 'Picture' except that the colour is a very clear light red. Plenty of blooms, a lot of clusters, but quite a percentage of flowers on solitary long stems. Growth is excellent. A variety that could be called either Floribunda or Hybrid Tea.

Starfire
1959 All-America Rose Winner
Starfire U.S. Plant Pat. 1742 A Lammerts' Creation
STARFIRE, ALL-AMERICA ROSE SELECTION WINNER FOR 1959, is unique among red roses... its unusual currant-red color is sun-fast—will never fade... its brilliant urn-shaped buds open into distinctive perfectly contoured flowers... possesses unique luminous quality which gives texture and depth to each velvety petal. Blossoms abundantly against a background of bronzy green foliage. Flowers occur singly on long cutting stems... or in clusters. Stems from 6 to 12 inches long make it ideally suited for cut-flower use. STARFIRE continues to be fluorescently lovely even when fully open. Often lasts 8 to 12 days. STARFIRE... in every way... the rose lover's rose.
