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.

Pemberton's Roses
A[...] class tending to be hardy, everblooming climbers, originated in England by the Rev. Joseph Pemberton. These are hybrids of Rosa moschata, the Musk Rose, whereas the Lambertianas are Hybrid Multifloras. Captain Thomas’ Roses offered below are similar, partaking of elements from both classes, combined with original traits. These Roses are $1 each for strong, field-grown plants
Sammy. Hybrid Musk. (1921.) Bright carmine, almost single, flowers continuously produced in large clusters. A vigorous shrub, almost thornless.
A brightly colored novelty which provides an interesting color contrast in this class.

Rev. J. H. Pemberton. The Adaptability Of The Rose.
There are, however, some hybrid musks which are more adaptable for planting in clumps, say, three, four or more, according to the size of the bed. Such a one is Sammy, a thornless Rose, essentially a late autumn flowering shrub; colour carmine, flowers semi-single, trusses carried erect. The wood is claret colour. A very free flowering variety.
