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.

‘Aschermittwoch’/’Ash Wednesday’ = Grimpant à grandes fleurs… est-il bien issu de Rosa eglanteria? On peut s’interroger, car son feuillage n’a pas cette senteur de pomme familière chez les rosiers rubigineux… étrange blanc grisâtre à reflets ardoise, lilas et chamois, évoquant en effet des cendres. Grandes et très pleines… vers la fin juin, en bouquets opulents, avec leur pléthore de pétales roulottés, tassés en quartiers vers le centre… parfum plus que modeste… grand grimpant un peu raide, au feuillage sain, ample et coriace… apprécié des amateurs d’inusité. Kordes, Allemagne, 1955. Peut être semis de Rosa eglanteria x ‘Ballet’.
