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.

I have noticed as well as Ines Diaz that some red flowers appear on the rose bush. I have tried to isolate the branch for propagation.	REPLY

Gardeners Chronicle & New Horticulturist, p. 305 (June 2, 1923) In a corner space Messrs. Wm Cutbush and Sons had a very attractive group of the cluster Roses, and this included the new dwarf Polyantha, Orange King, which is of erect habit, and bears small flowers of uncommon colour.	REPLY

The Garden: An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Horticulture p. 248 (1925)
Dwarf polyantha roses in pots, grown as bushes or standards, are very decorative and are profuse bloomers. A good exhibit of this type of rose was shown by Messrs. Cutbush and Sons, who included in their collection such varieties as Edith Cavell, *Orange King*, Salmon Queen, Orleans Rose and Tausendschon. *Orange King* is quite a break in colour, the pinkish orange flowers are small and very dainty. Salmon Queen is a paler shade; and Orleans Rose is of a similar colour but darker, and so lacks that softness in tint which adds to the beauty of *Orange King*.
