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.

"Comtesse Mélanie de Pourtalès" (Druschki X Ravary, Züchter: Walter). (Mit Abbildung.)
Diese Neuheit hat denselben Wuchs und Blühbarkeit wie Mme. Ravary und ist eine wundervolle Gruppenrose mit feinem Teerosenduft. Sie wächst buschig und erreicht eine Höhe von 60 cm. In Form gleicht sie Frau Karl Druschki und öffnet leicht bei jeder Witterung. Die Farbe ist im Innern schön cremegelb getönt, während die äusseren Blumenblätter rosa angehaucht sind.  H. Walter.

Translation:
"Comtesse Mélanie de Pourtalès" (Druschki X Ravary, breeder: Walter). (With illustration.)
This novelty has the same growth habit and floriferousness as Mme Ravary and is a wonderful group rose with a delicate tea rose fragrance. It grows bushy and reaches a height of 60 cm. In shape, it resembles Frau Karl Druschki and expands easily in all weather conditions. The colour is tinged with a nice creamy yellow inside, while the outer petals are shaded with pink. H Walter.
