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.

Just found this. From a report on the National Rose Show. "Nine distinct varieties of new decorative roses; 1st - Mrs. Charles Turner, Slough, with Mrs. Edouard Herriot, Mme. Charles Lutard, Pearl, a pretty single bunch variety, Queen of the Musks, and Old Gold."

The Gardener's Chronicle, July 3, 1915, p. 14.

The later.
SBR is quoting from a wonderful online resource should anyone have the time to explore. The Gardeners’ Chronicle is reporting on the NRS show staged in a special tent in Regent’s Park, London on a ‘glorious day typical Rose weather’, 22nd June 1915. Queen Alexandra was an earlier visitor with Miss Willmott acting as a guide. The show was thronged with visitors waiting their turn to enter forming a long queue. The report over several pages includes image of the rose, Lady Bowater (same as on HMF).
