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.

How much I prefer the nomenclature of the roses! I know not why, but it seems to me that in the vegetable world this is the only flower which has escaped Latin designations. This favor has been granted it, that it should be abandoned to all vulgar minds; while our hot-house Latinists put themselves to torture that they may forge barbarisms. The amateur of roses, more indulgent and more sensible, gives to his beautiful flowers beloved names—the names of heroes, of great artists ; the names of beautiful ladies, the name of his young wife, or his eldest daughter, or of his infant child; sometimes even the name of his political opinions. Thus you have the rose Henry V., and the rose Ferdinand, one near the other, and without dreading a duel with thorns; you have the rose Louis XII., and the rose Louis XV.; the rose Elizabeth, Colbert, Emilie Lesourd ; the rose Rosine, and the rose Fanchon, and the rose Célemène ; ma tante Aurore, and Silene, have each their own rose. These are what I call titles; with these you may recognise them again, when once you have named them! Général Marreau and Marechal de Villars have also their rose. Alas! there is also the rose Charles X., that dethroned king, that kind, affable gentleman; here is all that remains to us of this king of France, less than nothing—a flower!
