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.

Rose Pourpree agreable. The Pleasant Purple rose bears this Name only in the 1811 and 1851 Wilhelmshöhe nursery catalogues and the 1808 and 1825 Schelhase, Kassel catalogues.
In the "List of the roses found in the garden of the Archducal Schloss Weilburg", 1834 (Schloss Weilburg was in Baden near Vienna), it is listed as R. gallica under no. 180.
It may be a cultivated gallica bred by Schwarzkopf and since lost. The colour of the flower in the watercolour painting is not very purple. No rose similar to this is known today.
