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.

The Barossa Old Rose Repository was established in 2003 and is cared for by members of the Heritage Roses in Australia Barossa & Beyond Regional Group. The aim of this group is to encourage others to appreciate and grow some of the older types of roses – available through specialist rose nurseries - or group members - and to educate the public about the importance of preserving these old plant treasures for future generations.

There are many secrets attached to the origins of the roses in the Barossa Old Rose Repository. Many of the “mother plants” were believed to be brought out by the early settlers of the region. Some keep their identities secret and so remain a mystery, while others have already been positively identified as an early rose variety.

The Barossa Old Rose Repository is currently the only garden of its kind in Australia. A garden of locally grown, pre-loved and often forgotten roses brought together in one place for the public to appreciate some of the roses our forefathers grew.

When a rose is located it is given a study name such as “Gomersal Cemetery Rose ROR” or “Miss Ackland’s Pink HT ROR”. The letters R.O.R usually follow the study names in double quotes to indicate it is a renamed old rose.
