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.

Keith Laver (d. February 17, 2010), Caledon East, Ontario
Code is LAV--
Keith Laver bred several series of roses, including the Potluck and Springwood series.
In the Newsletter of the Societe des roses du Quebec Rose Society, December 2000 / February 2001, p. 15, Mr. Laver (Canadian rose hybridizer and owner of Springwood Roses) wrote: It has been four years since we stopped hybridizing roses. Ever since then we have kept a stock of our introductions and have kept our greenhouses in production, mainly in 4" pots for the garden centre trade. Some seven years ago we sold our miniature rose mail order business to Mori Miniatures but last year they ceased operations leaving a void in the introduction and distribution of Canadian hybridized miniature roses.
Keith Laver passed away on February 17, 2010.
