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.

Lee's Carmine Rose. Rosa centifolia var. carminata.
Stem stout, erect, branching: branches thickly clothed with unequal prickles, more or less dilated at the base, nearly straight, but some slightly bent downwards. Leaves bearing from 3 to 7 leaflets : those near the flower one pair, terminated by an odd one : leaflets variable, some blunt, others acute; terminal one cordately ovate: side ones frequently oblique at the base, clothed underneath with soft woolly hairs, glandularly toothed with red glands at the margin. Petioles more or less prickly, glandularly hairy, as is the midrib of the leaf. Stipules connected to the base of the footstalk, fringed with brown pedicelled glands, and terminated in free, lanceolate, acute points. Flowers terminal, varying in number, according to the strength of the plant or branch, generally very double, and handsomely formed. Peduncles, or flower-stalks, glandularly hispid, as is also the tube and segments of the calyx. Tube of the calyx ovate, tape ring to the base : segments more or less divided, their segments variable in shape and size. Petals numerous, imbricately spreading when expanded, the greater part more or less emarginate, becoming gradually narrower inwards.
The present handsome variety of Rose appears to belong truly to R. centifolia, to which the numerous varieties of the Provins Rose belong, the greater part of which are very odoriferous, more so than any other Rose. This variety is of a bright colour, as well as odoriferous, and is therefore a valuable acquisition to the cultivators of Roses.
Our drawing was made from a plant at the Nursery of Mr. Lee, at Hammersmith.
