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.

Sweet Magic (DICmagic) Dwarf cluster-flowered patio bush... one of the prettiest patio roses... 'Sweet Magic' tied with 'Royal William' on a show of hands in a contest to choose the Rose of the Year for 1987. A postal ballot was arranged so that absentees could vote, and to everyone's surprise it yielded the same result. Both roses were therefore promoted, and both have proven their worth. Dickson 1987
