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.

Some All-Canadian Roses
by Fred Blakeney, Victoria, B.C.
The John H. Dunlop & Son Nursery of Toronto has originated six Hybrid Tea Roses, and were probably the first nursery to put Canadian-originated roses on the market. At least, they were the first recorded. Their first introduction was a tea rose named "White Bougère" in 1898. Then followed five Hybrid Teas: "Mrs. Henry Winnett" (1917), "Frank Dunlop" (1920), "Canadian Jubilee" (1927), "Phantasy" (1927), "Red Beauty" (1929). Some of these roses may still be around. Mr. Dunlop died in 1930.

Dr. A. S. Thomas. Red Roses.
Though Mrs. Henry Winnett's blooms are smaller than those of many more modern varieties, this is one of the most beautiful dwarf roses ever grown. It was hoped that the climbing sport would be more lavish with its flowers than the dwarf form, even if they came only in the Spring-time.

Mrs. H. W. Winnett (Show & Garden) Not a free blooming rose in S. but favoured in drier zones for both G.[?] & S. It is a big flower of carmine red; splendid form and perfume is as rich and sweet as any rose in our lists. Fragrant. Habit 3. (HT)

I have had good seedlings from Mrs H. Winnet to name a few, and yet cannot now procure plants of them. It is easy to see that we may lose Roses that are invaluable for breeding.

D. McLennan, Vic: Rose Thoughts from Mooroopna.
Another is Mrs. Henry Winnett, who has more exhibition blooms than any other of my hundred Roses; it is seldom that any of her flowers are not perfect in shape. Her additional virtues are her colour, perfume, long stems, free flowering, and satisfactory growth. Had her red been a shade darker, like Etoile de Holland, she would be a champion.
