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.

Bill Shaw. Sean McCann raised the question of the deterioration of 'Admiral Rodney'. The theory he quoted was that it had been over-propagated. it could be that - it was a small nursery that produced it. But might it not be that it was due to an inadequate longevity gene? A fault like this wouldn't show up in four or five years of testing but might take fifteen years or more to become evident....

Sean McCann. Roses Down Under.
One theory of deterioration is that the constant stripping down of bushes to provide propagation material has resulted in the weakening of the plant. This was said to be the reason for many of the 'Admiral Rodney' bushes being so weak so soon after its introduction. It was felt that the material used to propagate the later bushes were constantly being ravished for the production of budwood. Better bushes could have been produced with budwood taken from bushes selected for vigour and health.
