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.

Marie Leonida. Bracteata Hybrid, early 19th Century. Nature has given this tall, bushy plant, the handsomest, most luxuriant foliage of any rose we know. Try hard as she does all season, however, Leonida seems unable, in this climate, to open its full white buds to anything near perfection.

Maria Leonida is an ancestor, or at least some relation, of 'Mermaid'; it is a tender rose, but stands one of our [Texan] normal winters without freezing back at all. The fragrance is often greater than that of 'Mermaid', and it has the most beautiful foliage imaginable, with semi-double blooms scattered throughout the season. I would advise a fifty-foot space for this rose, as it grows out of all reason...
