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.

"This is a lovely mounding Rose of 3-4' that is showered with sprays of tiny, double, pink roses in late spring. A refreshing choice cascading over a stone wall or for hot sunny banks that beg for something besides junipers, cotoneaster or liriope. The foliage stays clean all summer. An added bonus is salt-tolerance, making it a good choice for coastal gardens. It is also tolerant of a wide range of soils from heavy clay to sand. Found in 1949 in the garden of an 18th century plantation near Wilmington, NC, an area settled by Scottish and English immigrants, who brought this favorite along. Not native."

"Petite Pink Scotch" (Found) has a habit very different than that of 'Red Cascade'. Tiny leaves cover dozens of arching branches on a shrub 2-foot tall by 4-foot wide. The thick, finely textured plants have little resemblance to traditional roses. Blooms are tiny, half inch, pink pompons that tightly cover the canes. The rose, found in 1949 by Jackson M. Batchelor of Willard, North Carolina, was growing in the garden of a 1750s plantation home on the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, NC. The area was originally settled by Scottish and English immigrants, and Mr. Batchelor speculates that this rose came with them, explaining the found name given it. (The rose shows no relationship to the 'Scotch Rose', R. spinosissima). Edging made of rock, wood, or metal around garden beds are accented by "Petite Pink Scotch's" graceful habit.
