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.

Page 41: Although it looks like an old rose and is named after the Elizabethan seafarer, this rose was raised by Svejda at the Canadian Dept. of Agriculture in 1968, reputedly from seed of 'Schneezwerg', a hybrid of R. rugosa. It makes a rounded bush about 1.5 m high, with one or two flowers continually open after the initial burst. Scented like but in leaves and general appearance much more like a large form of R. pimpinellifolia
