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.

Yes, you could transplant roses now. Prepare where you want the rose to be transplanted to making sure you dig the whole large enough and soak the prepared area with water beforehand. You must ensure when digging up the rose that the roots do not get cut off. Depending on the size of your rose bush it would be better to start by digging 18 - two feet from the main stem. If this area if too big then start cutting the size down. There is quite possible a long root going down so try not to break this off. Take as much soil as you can with the roots and place in your prepared hole. Make sure the rose is no higher above the ground than before, and possibly an inch or two lower. Water well, but do not fertilize.
Hilling the rose over the winter is also a good idea.
Please email me if you need further information.
