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.

Bridesmaid. Tea. A variety that is very useful in our southern Rose-gardens, because of its free-blooming qualities. It is a descendant of the old Catherine Mermet but is better in a good many ways. The flowers are large, fragrant, and of the clearest and deepest pink imaginable. The plants are unusually strong growers.

Tea Roses.
The Bridesmaid Rose is of a clear, rich pink, strikingly beautiful at first glance, and wearing well upon long acquaintance. Its fragrance is decidedly like tea, and very agreeable. The flowers are large and full, and the buds are especially beautiful. The plant grows vigorously and is hardy. Flowers freely, and is especially desirable for cutting, as the stems are long and strong. The Bridesmaid Rose has been in existence for a number of years, and becomes more popular every season. Found in practically all collections of any magnitude, and, by many, grown to the exclusion of other kinds.
