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.

Correction needed in the Profile: The Barbier whose rose collection was acquired by Louis Noisette, and who was a respected surgeon at the military hospital at Val-de-Grâce ca. 1790-1825, had nothing to do with the Barbiers of Orléans.

There is an excellent online article on the Barbiers, illustrated, by Lloyd Chapman. The web address is
http://www.annchapman.net.nz/content/barbiers-and-their-roses
Mr Chapman calls it a book, and it is long enough and authoritative enough to be one: "The Barbiers and their Roses."

"Barbier Frères et Compagnie in Orleans were rosarians. The company was founded in 1900 and closed sometime in 1933. During those years, the brothers introduced 67 hybrid roses; many were crosses between hybrid teas and Rosa wichuraiana descendants. The brothers derived bushes with the best traits of both."
