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.

The Moss Rose (Rosa centifolia muscosa) is supposed to have originated from an accidental sport of the common Provence, and this supposition is strengthened by the fact that the seed from Moss Roses often produces plants having flowers entirely free from moss. The earliest account we have of the Moss Rose is that it was imported from Holland to England in 1596. The following varieties may be ranked among the best in this class:
Unique — Flowers pure white, large and full, habit vigorous.
