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.

Initial post 18 DEC 15 by Patricia Routley
Yesterday I came across a very possible ‘Isobel’ from an old property. There were no blooms but the plant has an excellent provenance. Once growing on the property in the 1990’s, my cuttings failed to strike, but a relative’s did. The plant has now been returned to the old property and only recently replanted. The foliage has substantial weevil damage so I am not really sure what the leaves are like. But I did get the impression that the foliage certainly was “different”. The pollen parent of ‘Isobel’ was R. hiberica, - about which I know nothing, except for the HelpMeFind parentage of Rosa canina L. × Rosa spinosissima L. But that parentage tells me that ‘Isobel’s’ foliage might certainly be different from the normal ‘Irish Elegance / Fireflame /Dainty Bess mob. Does anybody have a photo of ‘Isobel’s foliage please? Perhaps an average leaf on a hand would do just fine.
