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.

Edelfräulein (Hybrid Tea 1918). Breeder: Dr. Krüger. Distributor: Herm. Kiese & Co.
The past years brought us mostly lightly filled roses in the Hybrid Tea class. With this novelty we again have a very tightly filled rose, which keeps its full beauty until fading. 'Edelfräulein' descends from a crossing of Lila Rautenstrauch / Anna Olivier; she has inherited from both sorts their beauty. The blooms are almost always solitary on strong stems never drooping like the mother sort. The bud is soft pink, passing to ivory-white when expanding; when fully expanded she could be compared to a cactus dahlia. The very double bloom expands easily and willingly even in rainy weather. This will be an excellent sort for florists, as the blooms are very lasting on the plant and do not easily fade even when cut. The solitary roses on 50-60 cm tall canes are very suitable for bouquets. The expanded rose is also bought readily for garlands. The foliage is metal-green, could howver be a bit alrger in relation to the large bloom. Dr. Krüger can be proud of his 'Edelfräulein', it is in all aspects a noblewoman [Edelfräulein], which will defend its place in the rose garden.
