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.

[From "Roses of the Spanish Civil War", by Darrell g.h. Schramm, pp. 2-8]
Blas Munnè, whose interest in roses had awakened in the late 19th century, also offered his wartime compatriots a new rose in 1936. He called it ‘Aurora Borealis’. A hybrid tea the color of honey blended with red, it seems to have been his last rose. He died in 1941. But his two sons continued the family enterprise.

Resultats officiels du Concours de Rome. ... Certificat de premier mérite à la Rose hybride thé Aurore Boréale (Etoile de Hollande X Ville de Paris X Sensation), obtenue par M. BLAS DE GAVA, Barcelone (Espagne).
Magazine (Dec 1935) Page(s) 145.
Un premier certificat [de Rome] fut décerné à la variété B. 506, belle fleur rose saumon, de M. MALLERIN, et deux autres aux roses espagnoles, Irène Churnea, de la Caza La Floridia, et Aurora Boreal, de M. BLAS MURMÉ, de Barcelone. Je peux me tromper, mais j e crois que cette dernière aura un grand avenir comme rose décorative. Elle est semi-double, avec des pétales très puissants qui gardent bien leur forme, très épais et très rigides, et la couleur est extrêmement riche et forte, rouge avec un coeur jaune qui donne l'effet de la flamme. J e l'ai vu trois ou quatre fois dans l'année, et la couleur et la forme m'ont toujours frappée. Par un temps frais, elle a un ton plus vif que Cuba ou Saturnia.
