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.

Reading the descriptions of Mrs. E. G. Hill, it doesn't sound like a match for the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden's "SU#12". The center is certainly not white, and the top of the petals is more a medium pink than the very pale pink in the descriptions. Also "SU#12" doesn't hold its blooms upright. The stem usually bends sideways, and sometimes droops downward.

Would you like us to open a new file for "SU#2"? Once it is opened you can add brief details in that rose's comments section and either you or I can transfer the photos.

I can't tell if they are the same rose, but I am stuck by a similarity with "SU#12" and an Australian foundling "Birte Venske's No. 13". Would you take a look at that rose please Tearose.

Yes, I think "SU #12" should have it's own entry. That would include all the pictures by mashamcl. I see the resemblance to the found rose you mentioned, as well as to some, but not all, Mrs. Henry Morse photos.

File opened for "SU #12" and two named photos reassigned to that page. Would you please move the other four photos?
I note that CybeRose has a 2010 photo of "SU #12" in the 'Jonkheer J. L. Mock' page and I have certainly considered that rose as an identity for my "Birte Venske No. 13" but the following three roses are not yet quite clear in my mind and I need to do more study:
1906 'Mrs. E. G. Hill' (Mme. Caroline Testout x Liberty)
1909 'Jonkheer J. L. Mock'. (Mme. Caroline Testout x Mme. Abel Chatenay)
1919 'Mrs. Henry Morse' (Mme. Abel Chatenay x Lady Pirie')

I can't move the photos, as they aren't mine. Thanks for starting the new page for SU#12. I agree all those roses are possibilities. Our Jonkeer J L Mock is different. So I don't think that one is a possibility.
