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.

My garden consists of about 3/4 of an acre near downtown Florence, Alabama. I started my garden in 1992 from a practically empty slate (nothing but a few fruit trees and dogwoods) and at this point I don't have much room for any more roses. I have around 100 varieties - hybrid musks, climbers, noisettes and old tea roses comprise the bulk of my collection. Like any garden, mine is contantly changing. I now have more shade and as a result, some of my roses have suffered from that. So I am therefore moving roses around quite a bit and discarding those that have declined.
In addition to roses, I have a large collection of hydrangeas, camellias and viburnums. I grow various trees, shrubs, perennials and native plants. Plants are a never-ending obsession for me!
