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.

Notes:
Rosa rapa Bosc (1821) and Rosa rapa staxon semipleno Thory (1819).
Wilson Lynes reclassifies Rosa rapa Bosc as Rosa carolina var. plena, the same as The Golly Rose. See References.
Modern Roses divides this rose into two distinct varieties. In Modern Roses, both are classified as deep pink Misc. OGR:
1. Turneps includes R. fraxinifolia Dum. Cours., R. x rapa Lindley, and Turgida. Before 1770.
2. 'Rose d'Amour' includes R. rapa Bosc, R. virginiana plena Rehder, and St. Mark's Rose. Cultivated in Europe since 1768.
See also 'Rose d'Amour'.

According to Graham Thomas, 'Rose d'Orsay' can be distinguished from 'Rose d'Amour' by the pair of prickles it always has under each leaf.

Rosa fraxinifolia Dum. Cours. ist distinct from Rosa fraxinifolia Bork. (=R. blanda Ait.)
