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.

Nikolas Gartvis and the rose collection of the Imperial Botanic Garden at Nikita

Article (website) (2001)

...in a letter of Gartvis sent from Nikita to M. Vorontsov on 17 June 1833...."I venture to ask Monsieur Count and Madame the Countess to graciously accept the honour of two of the most beautiful roses of those that we derived, and decorate them with your name....The rose dedicated to Monsieur the Count refers to the winding evergreen species, whose long branches are able to completely cover houses, and flowers of this particular class, from 6 to 8 in a bouquet, roses have the size of centifolias, bright pink, almost dark.

I will not all talk about the magnificent evergreen roses, such as Rosa multiflora and Rosa Grevilliae; however it cannot be left unsaid that since 1828 varieties bred from seeds of china roses, the Rosa odorata Comtesse Woronzow have been distributed from here in the rest of europe - and that in Nikita seeds of Rosa sempervirens have been fertilized by pollen of china roses, to produce such roses which can withstand frost of 10° R. [-12.5° C], covering whole galleries, house walls, even roofs along the coast.
