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.

Chinese Old Roses are the precious heritage of China with good qualities and rich connotation. They experienced two rises and falls in history, and many cultivars got lost in the periods of the Opium War and Cultural Revolution. Luckily, nearly 100 old cultivars survived. China is quite backward in rose breeding, with distinct regional differences, Beijing and Yunnan being the centres of rose breeding in China. Chinese old roses are not sufficiently valued in the breeding of new cultivars; basic scientific efforts are being strengthened in a wide range of crosses and diverse breeding techniques are being used. However, there are few new cultivars with proprietary property rights. The disjunction between production and breeding resulted in the serious shortage of rose breeding in China and was the important restraining factor of new cultivar introductions.
