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.

'Superb'  Shorter    Crimson   Remontant   P2   H1 
Dark  crimson,  with neat, small flowers; this was discovered by De  Ruiter and introduced in 1927.  He said it was  one  of the 'Orleans Rose'  group, without indicating which variety it sported from. Frequently listed as Superba', a name already shared by four other varieties. The value of 'Superb' is shown by the ensuing sports  from it.
