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.

Touch of Venus A rose for everyone to love, is a Hybrid Tea which produces large, richly fragrant white flowers having a delicate pink centre. The long-pointed buds with pink-brushed tips, and the high-centered, exhibition type blooms, 5 to 6 inches wide, are carried regally on stems which are relatively free of thorns. There are about 40 petals. The plant growth habit is broadly upright. 'Touch of Venus' was hybridized by David L. Armstrong and introduced by Armstrong Nurseries, Ontario, California.  Parentage is ['Fandango' x ('World's Fair' x 'Floradora')] x 'Chrysler Imperial'.
