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.

Now we come to the Dean of Canadian Hybridizers in the person of Dr. Frank L. Skinner of Dropmore, Manitoba, who has been hybridizing roses and other plants for over sixty years. [...]
Other originations followed in succession, the chief ones being:
"Dorothy Fowler", (R. rugosa x R. acicularis) x R. spinosissima. Very fragrant clear pink, semi-double in June.

Miscellaneous Note - Frank L. Skinner approx 1935 - [no photos]

Rose Dorothy Fowler (Rosa rugosa-acicularis x spinosissima, double white). A bush up to 3 ft. with foliage that shows the influence of all three species involved; flowers 3 - 3 1/2 inches across, very fragrant, soft clear pink in color, flowering during June. The coloring in the photograph is not very good. In this photograph are also shown two blooms of R. blanda x blanda-Clothilde Soupert. These are rather dainty little flowers, quite fragrant but rather thin in the petal. (Where two Rose names are used in the pedigree as Blanda-Clothilde Soupert it means that one parent was a hybrid between the two varieties named.)
