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.

'Elizabeth of Glamis'. Floribunda. Syns: 'Elisabeth'', 'Irish Beauty'. MACel. Bred by McGredy (UK) and introduced in 1964, this rose is named for the late Queen Mother, whose ancestral home was Glamis Castle in Scotland. Clusters of shapely buds open to very large, well-formed, double, salmon-orange flowers. Foliage is dark green and abundant on a medium-sized, bushy shrub. Flower production is very high and the repeat is good. I don't know why it had the alternative name 'Irish Beauty' as the Queen Mother was a Scottish Beauty in her day. ('Spartan' x 'Highlight'). NRS President's International Trophy 1963. Zones 7-9.
