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.

Prickly rose plants are quite variable in morphological details including pubescence, glandularity, and fruit shape . Prickly rose is a deciduous shrub about 4 feet (1.2 m) in height with many fine roots in the top 8 inches (20 cm) of soil. Deep roots may extend to 55 inches (140 cm) . The main stems are usually covered with slender, straight bristles or prickles. The alternate leaves are pinnately compound with five to nine leaflets and conspicuous stipules. The pink or rose-colored flowers have numerous stamens and are borne singly on lateral branches. The globose, fleshy, red or orange-red hip has 10 to 30 achenes. Each achene is 0.15 to 0.2 inch (3.8-5 mm) long with stiff hairs along one side.
Information about subspecies (varieties) is summarized below:
Subspecies (variety) acicularis is octoploid (2n = 56). It has glandular pedicels and narrow sepals (less than 0.1 inch or 3 mm). Its leaves have five leaflets.
Subspecies sayi (variety bourgeauiana) is hexaploid (2n = 42). Its pedicels are glabrous and the sepals are wider than 0.1 inch (3 mm). There are five to nine leaflets in each leaf.
