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.

I purchased Golden Slippers from Rogue Valley Roses, and I suggest you do the same. My grandmother grew this rose when I was a kid and it was the rose that got me into roses in the first place. Maybe I'm overly sentimental about it, but I think it's a great rose. It has a very unique color, a strong, unique scent, a wispy form, and it's a fairly compact grower. I also have a soft spot for "almost lost" roses. A lot of them aren't bad, they're just overlooked in the transition to a new color fad.

Golden Slippers must be a fairly tough plant. I live in Greensboro, North Carolina, and I garden professionally. I was approached by a customer who had roses that his mother and grandmother had grown. One of these was an old 'Golden Slippers'.

It's funny that you say it must be tough by mentioning a grandmother. My grandmother had a Golden Slippers as well. It was fairly neglected, but always looked great and was covered in the fun orange/yellow blooms. It was my first encounter with garden roses as a child, and it is what really got me into roses. I've been looking for a source for this rose, but haven't found one yet. Roses Unlimited and Angel Gardens reportedly carry GS, but they're out of stock unfortunately. Fingers crossed I run across one soon.

The reason I was able to identify the 'Golden Slippers' is because I had purchased one from Roses Unlimited the year before. I saw it in their greenhouse, and I thought it was a beautiful shade of orange. Hopefully they have not lost their stock plant.
