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.

Burgundy (Howard and Smith) As the name suggests, this variety is a rich wine red, with the large broad petals giving fine bud shape but opening semi double. The growth and foliage are good, with an excellent bedding habit and freedom of bloom. The summer colour was rather weak, but autumn blooms improved enormously. If this variety settles down to more regular colour it will be a very fine bedding sort.

Burgundy, from the same firm, [Howard and Smith] has double blooms of a pleasing wine-red, hence the name. Another year will tell us more about it, as the originators claim this Rose has a plant which gets better instead of retrogressing every year as too many modern Rose plants do.
