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.

Eye Candy' (Somshabar) - 4867; floribunda bred by Rob Somerfield,  Glenavon Roses. I mentioned above about Rob breeding roses with a low to medium plant with a neat compact habit, this is one of them.  The soft pink flowers, smallish in size are borne in clusters, appeal as it was seldom without flowers. This rose will give plenty of enjoyment in the garden for those that just like a neat free flowering rose. It did get spider mite bad but most roses have the last couple of summers and powdery mildew was evident the odd time too.
