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.

Gypsy - Here is a 1973 AARS winning Hybrid Tea rose with a name to match its gleaming, fiery, orange-red colour. Long, sturdy stems hold the graceful, urn-shaped buds aloft to open into fiery double blooms like great rubies. The attractive, slightly cup-formed roses with their large petals of brilliant orange-red keep that colour from the time the first petals unfold until the last petal falls, almost regardless of weather. ‘Gypsy’ bears its continuous bloom on a broad upright growing plant of average height. The sturdy stems are well covered with large, deep green leathery leaves that stay on the plant. The bush is well proportioned, forming an unusually attractive ensemble of sturdy, vigorous branches clothed in deep green and topped with lively orange-red splendor to which is added a light spicy fragrance. ‘Gypsy’ was hybridized  by Swim and Weeks and introduced by the Conard-Pyle company.
