My HMF:

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.

Description from the SHRG (Sacramento's Historic City Cemetery Historic Rose Garden) 2017 Catalog:

"Abbot and Burns Family Rose” (Lawrenceana found rose)
It’s said that The “Abbott and Burns Family Rose” was carried from Arkansas to California via wagon train, in 1857, by the family of a Cemetery volunteer. The rose appears to be a China, similar to “Mableton Rouletti”. Roses of this type were known as Lawrenceanas or Fairy Roses in the mid 19th century; tiny bushes with white, pink or crimson flowers. This rose may also have been a dooryard rose, planted near the back door, where a busy housewife could water it with dishwater, and stop for a few minutes to enjoy the blooms. No wonder some long-ago woman took the trouble to bring her rose along to California. “Abbott and Burns Family Rose” is nearly constantly in bloom, with flowers no more than an inch in size covering a plant about three feet high and wide.
