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.

‘Shailer’s White Moss’/R.centifolia alba muscosa/R.muscosa alba/’White Bath’/’Clifton’s Moss’/’Blanc Carné’: Les rosiers Mousseux – blancs. En culture avant 1810. Issu sans doute d’une mutation de R.centifolia, on découvrit cette rose dans le jardin de Shailer, à Baltusea, en Angleterre… Très parfumée, c’est sans doute l’une des plus belles roses blanches. Elle est malheureusement assez capricieuse et peut vite se flétrir en exposition trop aride et ensoleillée.

Moss and Provence Roses.
Their beautiful buds and delicious fragrance render these great favourites, and deservedly so.
Pruning.—These should be slightly pruned. Remove all old wood, thin out some of the past season's shoots where overcrowded, shorten the laterals of those remaining, and cut back the young growths to about six eyes. Prune in February or March.
