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.

Albatross . (HT). Flowers extra large; colour ivory white, faintly tinted with blush pink; of handsome conical form in the way of 'Frau Karl Druschki' and 'White Lady' but full and more durable blossom than either. The flowers are produced upon strong, erect stems. This will prove a valuable rose for the exhibitor; growth moderate.

Voier, d'après les obtenteurs, la description exacte. Albatros (hybride de thé), possède des fleurs très grandes, d'un coloris crème à peine teinté de rose pâle, d'une belle forme conique, dans le genre de Frau Karl Druschki et White Lady, portées par de belles tiges droites.

Albatross was shown recently before the Royal Horticultural Society, and, judging from its appearance, it is likely to rank high as a show flower. The colour is white, with a fawn shading.
