I understand why you do not allow two letter searches (too many results) but it does make it difficult to bring up the listings for Si and Hi (which I just discovered is two different roses). I'm not sure if this can be resolved; maybe if the space were made a valid character?

There is a way around it, but it takes a little playing around because my memory does not hold things like this for long. I found that 'best matches, contains and ends with... did not find 'Si' and 'Hi', but Begins with.... did.

Thanks!

It's annoying to have to go via breeder or something else that may slip the mind.

There are enough "archive" retail nurseries listed here at HelpMeFind to make the search for somewhere to buy certain roses frustrating: you locate the listing for the rose, see that the tab for "Buy From" is active, and select it to find out where to buy the rose, only to find that all the so-called sources are now out of business.

I know resources are limited, but it would be helpful if these no longer extant sources could be moved into a new category for archive/closed/reference only nurseries (with an additional tab (?)) to make the quest for actual sources less frustrating.
