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.

‘White Mrs Flight’ / ‘White Flight’ = Grimpant liane – blanc. Encore plus vigoureux que son parent, ce sport blanc de ‘Mrs F.W. Flight’ se pare de fleurs simples, d’un blanc immaculé. Peter Beales doute fort qu’il s’agisse réellement d’un sport. Rockford 1916.

‘Astra Desmond’/’White Flight’ = Grimpant liane. Dédié à une célébrité de l’opéra britannique, ce rosier fut perdu sous ce nom jusqu’à ce que Peter Beales le redécouvrit sous une identité d’emprunt… petites fleurs semi-doubles, blanc cassé à crème… Sain et vigoureux… Selon l’experte néo-zélandaise, Sally Allison, il sent la fleur d’oranger. Peut-être un semis de ‘White Mrs Flight’.
