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.

Stella Polaris Shrub rose
Jenson 1890
This variety originates from R. rugosa, the Japanese Rose. It has large, single white flowers and apple-shaped hips which are larger than those of the parent species. Stiff growth reaching to about hip height, with underground runners; it is particularly suitable for covering slopes. Tolerates poor, loose soil and windy conditions. R. rugosa, the parent species of this variety and of the variety Fru Dagmar Hastrup, grows up to hip height and is particularly suitable for coastal areas as it tolerates sea-fog and salt spray.
