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.

You'll find 3,500 roses -- over 580 varieties, over 132 of which are Old Garden Roses -- in The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden at the New York Botanical Garden. The garden was dedicated in September 1988, but was originally designed in 1916 by Beatrix Jones Farrand. Farrand's plans were not actually carried out until 71 years later when Peggy and David Rockefeller funded its construction. The garden consists of 83 beds along three main walkways which radiate from a central gazebo. Generally, the roses are grouped by class -- the Modern roses towards the interior, Old Garden Roses on the perimeter. The curator of the rose garden is Peter E. Kukielski. The roses grown are those that are available to the home gardener.
