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.

The 2 similar and fertile RSM K1 and RSM K5 seedlings exhibited the rough foliage of R. rugosa to a greater degree than their sterile, probably triploid sisters. Pollen and stomata of the fertile seedlings were of the size found in tetraploid roses; cytological examination at meiosis confirmed a tetraploid count of 28 chromosomes in RSM K1. This strongly suggests they arose from ovules with the 2n complement of R. rugosa.

Since the 2 seedlings are similar except for petal number, only RSM K I is described.
