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 Climbing Roses, by Stephen Scanniello and Tania Bayard, p. 73: 'Crimson Rambler'] was brought to the United States [in 1895] by the firm of Ellwanger and Barry in Rochester, New York.
[From Roses of America, by Stephen Scanniello and Tania Bayard, p. 17:] In 1882, H.B. Ellwanger published The Rose, a book that soon set the standard for rose classification. Ellwanger, proprietor of the Mount Hope Nursery in Rochester, New York, described and evaluated nearly a thousand varieties of roses in his book, but he complained that many of them were European imports unsuitable for cultivation in America... [Ellwanger] attempted to develop roses that would grow well in the United States, using native wild roses as the stock.
[From Roll Call: The Old Rose Breeder, p. 153:]
