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.

Today MACcompu. Large-flowered. 'Today' is still a very new rose - Sam McGredy introduced it only in 1990 - so perhaps it will improve with age. The flowers, perhaps, are a bit too small to be in proportion with the very strong, tall bush. People made this same complaint about 'Pascali', and it was a great hit. Everthing else is good news; the blooms are shapely and long lasting, they hold their bright orange and yellow until they drop, without going red or purple, and they harmonize perfectly with the bronze-green foliage. Scent is quite good. Unnamed seedling unnamed seedling. Repeat flowering. Fragrant.

Valerie Swane, Dural, NSW. Introductions for 1992.
Today (Maccompu) - The colour is a vibrant orange ochre. In both colour and growth habit it is quite distinct from any other rose. The colour is very intense and the bush is tall without becoming too tall. The many petals are pointed and recurved. 'Today' thrives in the hotter climates of the world. It was raised by Sam McGredy from ('Typho Tea' x {'Yellow Pages' x 'Kabuki'} x {'Yellow Pages x 'Kabuki') x { 'Macjose' x 'Typhoon' }).
