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.

Thanks Michael. Gorgeous name 'BougainFeelYa'. Wonder if it is prickly.

lol! Nah, I saw it in person last year. It was a simple landscape shrub type. Kinda glossy. These names though. They're so....like someone has a mouthful of food and they are trying to speak. Too much going on. Try telling a friend, "You should get such and such rose." Yeah, it will not work in this scenario. They will say, "WHAT?"

I get the concept they are going for. I get it. You get it. This is our world. The public will not care. And a landscape rose. A landscaper does not have the time, and often the patience, to pick over words. They will say, "'Knock Out', 'Flower Carpet', 'Bonica' .... the red one, yeah. That will work for this job."

I did a double take over this hideous name. Worst rose name EVER. The name is so deplorable I would not buy this rose. Hydrangealicious is just as bad.

It is too bad. I am with you on the names. They seem like a good set of roses too. I even like the company, Star Roses. But some of their names have me... uninterested and agitated. I also typically do not like names that are gender-geared, about polarizing celebrity names, or unpronounceable names. It is just too much, and it detracts from the garden.

I think the rose Chris Everett is lovely. I will not grow it because I do not want to think of tennis, People magazine covers circa 1980, or athletic shoe ads when I walk in my yard. Rosie O'Donnell. No.
