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.

[From "Descriptions and Account of the Varieties of Double Scotch Roses, cultivated in the Gardens of England. By Joseph Sabine, Esq. F. R. S. &c. Secretary, p. 281-305]
The Double Provins Blush belongs to the section of the Blush Scotch Roses; it is a sort very generally known, growing tall and strong, and coming early into blossom. It originated I believe in the Perth nursery. The peduncles are thick, long, and quite smooth; the germen is full, large, and campanulate; the leaves of the calyx are broadly triangular, with a long pointed leaflet at the end, and expand widely; the whole are tinged with a mahogany colour. The bud is of a very pale pink, or rather a dingy white; the flower is particularly large and double, of a delicate flesh colour, deeper than the Lady's blush, and more glowing in the centre; it is cupped, and well shaped, the centre petals being smaller than the outer; the scent is fine, more like that of a Provins Rose than a common scotch Rose. It bears but few fruits; they are large, black, and globose, with slightly expanding tops. The whole flower has a character different from all the others, and when it opens well is peculiarly handsome; but the buds occasionally fail, and do not expand; in which case the flesh colour becomes dull and of a smoky hue, the buds then continue closed, and in that state decay.
