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.

When I started breeding roses, I realised breeders in this country had become a bit linear in their thoughts. My aim is to introduce old world roses crossed back into moderns. During the years of breeding, people have been more concerned about bloom size and appearance and by doing that , have failed to realise what roses were really grown for, their perfume. I feel a rose should look good at bud and fully blown stage , and most important , have perfume.

Over the last couple of years I have introduced asian species roses into my breeding programme as a means of obtaining hybrid vigour, but most important, resistance to fungal diseases prevelant in european cultivars over hundreds of years
