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 "Descriptions and Account of the Varieties of Double Scotch Roses, cultivated in the Gardens of England. By Joseph Sabine, Esq. F. R. S. &c. Secretary, p. 281-305]
p. 285: they [Dickson and Brown] in 1802 and 1803 had eight (*As nearly I have been able to ascertain, the eight sorts were the small white, the small yellow, the lady's blush, another lady's blush with smooth footstalks, the red, the light red, the dark marbled, and the large two-coloured.) good double varieties to dispose of...
p. 296: The Double Light Red is also an early variety, blossoming soon after the Double red. Its peduncles are generally smooth, but sometimes there is a slight hispidity on them; the germen is semi-globose, and the sepals rather long; the bud shew but little colour, and the flower, when opened, is more cupped than that of the preceding [Double Red], and less brilliant in its colour, which insttead of being purely rose, is tinged with a purplish hue, and the whole is paler; the petals, when opened fully, have a rather confused appearance, and shew much of their pale backs. The fruits are black, few in number, small and globose, with a slightly extended neck. This Rose has much affinity to the Light Marbled in the next section; it might, without impropriety, be called the Pale Purple Red, but the name under which I have described it seems generally to have been attached to it in the nurseries.
........edges of the petals ultimately blanched, as in the two others.
