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.

New Roses 1927. Autocrat (Per. Beckwith) Prawn red flushed with amber towards edge of petals. As the flower expands, the outside of the petals retain their colour, and the inner colour runs from rich ochre to flesh pink. The raiser does not mention growth, and it is significant that, although offered in England two years ago, the plants were not fit to send out then for our order. They were imported this season, but many plants have died back already in our nursery. It is evident that 'Autocrat' belongs to the faulty section of the pernetiana class, and is in no sense likely to improve rose growing by being disseminated.
