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.

At least six roses bred by Frank Riethmuller were named after racehorses. In the case of 'Gay Vista' we have Riethmuller's own word for it (Your Garden, January 1959, p. 21). The horse Filigree was born in Australia in 1941, racing circa 1943–46. The hybrid tea 'Filagree' (note the variant spelling) was registered in 1962 but evidently named much earlier, making it almost certain that Riethmuller was breeding hybrid teas during the Second World War.

Thanks. Noted. The name possibly due to that scribbling doctor (A. S. Thomas) again and we had better leave this one as 'Filagree'	REPLY

I agree. Filagree and Filigree are common variants anyway. And Filigree has since been taken by another rose.	REPLY
