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.

Rosa le Grand Eveque. Archbishop, a semi-double garden rose, dark brown and shimmering lila. The brown colouring on the dark lilac petals stands out magnificently from the yellow stamens, and forms an impressive magnificent rose. The rose is as large as a Band-Rose [?], but more double, each petal 1 inch long and one inch wide, on the reverse shading lovely from the brown into violet and dark red, passing to white, has perfect large, ordinary Garden Rose petals [Gallica], with 5 and 3 leaflets. Bloomed in June at Falke in Nürnberg, and was 4 feet tall, grafted on a wild understock.
