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.

Another really beautiful trait is the greyed out undersides of the leaves. I wish I had a better quality picture. This rose appears to be unable to set hips. I have observed a couple "to be" hips in the past, a very few do get a little plump with time but when dissected there's nothing viable inside. The vast majority of the time though the receptacles simply blacken and shrivel from the pedicel up, often staying attached to the plant for a noticeable while.

This is what the prickles/thorns should look like. Very rarely produced, virtually thornless. I could only find 3 in this entire very big plant.
