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.

p10. When ripe the hips will turn orange in colour, some varieties will be red, some pale green to very light orange as is the case in ‘Mrs. Mary Thomson’.

p12 ….Coming up to Christmas, flowers will appear on your small seedlings. Now is the time to assess, this is a very important period of time. This period is a prime example of the element of luck. “Have I kept the best one?” The first flowers to appear will all be single. Some breeders automatically discard all single flowering plants. Don’t be too hasty, some of the singles might well have some worthwhile attributes. For example, beautiful lush foliage, very high disease resistance, or even thornless. I have kept many lovely single seedlings over the years and many of them are the seed parents I use today. For example the seed parent of ‘Susan Irvine’ (Tom-Sue)
[Note - the Seed parent of 'Susan Irvine' was 'Mrs. Mary Thomson']
