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.

California is one that has pleased me this year. The inside colour is old gold, with a reddish coppery reverse. When the blooms open they are rather flat, but still keep the colours well. The plant is a strong grower.

Howard and Smith are pushing California and Apricot Queen, both previously mentioned in these articles. California is a purely decorative and may not appeal to you who prefer Roses for the show table, but the plants are good and really produce a quantity of large colourful flowers of various tones of orange, with a splendid fragrance to help along.

R. Marion Hatton. An American Review of the New Roses.
There are a number of new American Roses this year, some of which may interest Australian rosarians. Although having but 20 petals, Howard and Smith's California appeared to me to lead the list. Its 4 1/2 inch blooms emerge rich brownish orange from deep coppery orange buds and carry a rich fruit fragrance. The plant is low but bushy, and has attractive, small, bronzy-green foliage. It produces generously, and as the colour is pleasing will make a good decorative.
