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.

Jim Naylor.  Personal Favourites
My choice is 'Hakuun' (which means White Cloud in Japanese). A very versatile rose, 'Hakuun' is a low-growing floribunda (DCF) introduced by Poulsen in 1962. It bears masses of rounded, semi-double blooms in closely packed short stemmed sprays.  In early stages, it is a creamy yellow, paling to white with pink flecks,  the scent is light. It continues to flower throughout the summer into the autumn.  I find it especially useful to edge a border, as in the bed outside the library at Rose Society, HQ or for any small space where a cool colour is desired. It also does particularly well under glass, producing large clusters very easily and in time for April/May spring shows.
