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.

Dr. Joseph Drew (H.T., W. Easlea). A vigorous-growing variety of free-branching habit. The blooms, which are carried on long. stiff stems, are of fine shape. The colour is a handsome tinted pale rose, with copper at the base of its large shell-shaped petals. Foliage dark green. It will be an ideal Rose to many on account of its sweetness of scent; to me it is one of the sweetest-scented Roses we have had for some time. When disbudded it makes a fine exhibition Rose, while as a bedding variety, lt is especially good in the autumn. A seedling from Melanie Soupert x Comtesse Icy Hardegg, it is free from mildew. In commerce.
