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.

There is a typo on the breeder’s date of death. Same author, quoting 1964 and 1965?

Your datings of Aicardi roses relies on two valuable articles, one by Eva Mameli Calvino and another by the Director of the Sicilian Agricultural Institute, the latter causing you to date Primavera and Medusa as pre-1938. You will see, however, on p.614 of "Die Gardenwelt" of 1933 a report by the editor of Three New Italian Roses: Saturnia, Primavera and Medusa. I don't know whether the latter two were registered and introduced by Jackson and Perkins at a later date - as was Saturnia (1936) - but since the other two, according to the article, were given an Award of Merit at the Rome rose trials of 1933, it is best to change their breeding dates.
Best wishes
