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.

We do not have ANY photos of this Garden!

[From A Book of Gardening: Ideas, Methods, Designs, by Penelope Hobhouse, p. 41:] the scented almost evergreen Himalayan rose, Rosa gigantea, with wide yellowish-white single flowers followed by red autumn fruits flourishes over a pergola.

[From A Book of Gardening: Ideas, Methods, Designs, by Penelope Hobhouse, p. 43:] On the house terrace formal clipped bays are interrupted by beds of the apricot-flowered bush rose 'Mrs. Oakley Fisher'. These roses are underplanted with bronze-leaved Crocosmia 'Solfatare' with apricot-yellow flowers on 60 cm (2 ft) stems and pale blue Salvia patens 'Cambridge Blue'...

[From A Book of Gardening: Ideas, Methods, Designs, by Penelope Hobhouse, p. 104: There is] a bed of standard and bush yellow roses. 'Whisky Mac' and 'Yellow Pages', is underplanted with scarlet Potentilla 'Gibson's Scarlet' and edged with a 45 cm (18 in) hedge of clipped Erica erigena 'W.T. Rackliff'.

[From A Book of Gardening: Ideas, Methods, Designs, by Penelope Hobhouse, p. 105:] Standards of the creamy-white rose 'Pascali' give height above 30 bushes of 'Dame Edith Helen', a 1920s Hybrid Tea duoble pink rose, underplanted with pink-flowering Potentilla 'Miss Willmott'.

[From A Book of Gardening: Ideas, Methods, Designs, by Penelope Hobhouse, p. 110:] In the four corner beds of both parterres Hybrid Tea and Floribunda roses are planted to conform with the colour schemes in neighbouring beds. Five standard roses are underplanted with some three dozen of the bush type. In spring tulips, chosen to give a hint of the colour patterns which come late in the season, provide interest in the rose beds. The rose beds are surrounded by hedges of shrubby Erica mediterranea (now correctly E. erigena) 'W.T. Rackliff', which has dark green leaves carried very densely and white flowers with conspicuous brown anthers.
