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.

Margot Anstiss: This is a very pleasing pink rose, somewhat similar to Mrs. A. R. Barraclough.

Margot Anstiss (4 plants, 1 year). Large heavy specimen blooms made up of thin papery petals that will not open. This is disappointing as it is a lovely soft pale pink with even colouring throughout - a colour we need. Free blooming: Low growing but vigorous. It may be a very good rose in a better climate.

Margot Anstis  The best way to describe this rose is to say an improved Leading Lady. It is beautiful from the bud stage until fully open.

Novelty Roses 1949. Margot Anstiss (HT. Harkness 1947) A very lovely variety, deserving high marks for novelty. Very large flowers of rich satin pink of an unusual shade, but the petals are rather thin and will probably ball in wet weather. The parentage is said to be 'F. K. Druschki' x 'The Doctor'.  5/- each.
