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.

p75-5 Harry Murray, NSW …. stand up particularly well to wet conditions in contrast to the thin rather soft petals in cultivars of the ‘Memoriam’ or ‘Royal Highness’ type, which not only mark badly, but also tend to stick together and rot during periods of prolonged rain.

p128-4 Split Centres. …Mr. Walter Duncan, South Australia. ….while ‘Memoriam’ in the dry 1967 season, yielded flowers which were almost all split.

p130-4 Mr. R. J. Bell, Victoria. There are plenty of others which produce occasional split centres including ‘Memoriam’ and… to name a few but these cultivars are no worse than hundreds of others and are mentioned simply because I happen to grow them.

p130-8 ibid. Many of our full petalled roses have petals of very thin texture. ‘Memoriam’ is an example and I consider that the petals are more easily diverted or doubled back to produce this quartering effect.

‘Memoriam’ HT. light pink, white to very pale luminous pink. (G. J. Von Abrams; int. Peterson and Dering 61). ARA ’62; PP 5, Rpts 2,188. NR (497) 7.8; Av. NR 7.8 Ht. m.
Its short, stubby canes do not complement the classic flowers it supports. It is an intermittent producer of high-centred, well formed, exhibition-type blooms that can win ribbons when cut at the right stage. It is disease resistant but needs extra protection in cold weather and would be rated much high if grown on a good bush.
