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:
"A class of dwarf everblooming diminutive roses, easily grown from seed; blooming when two or three inches high. The leaves are quite small and the little flowers are borne in large clusters, double and single, white, pink, and red; one-half to one inch in diameter, and resemble fruit blossoms. Exquisitely dainty and pretty, followed by bright red hips or berries, which should be cut away if continual flowering is desired. 10 c pkt"

Offered in catalogs for many decades, it's quite possible these probable multiflora hybrids could well be some of the "found" roses we attempt to identify. It's also quite likely these were much the same as the plant used by Ralph Moore to create his Fair Molly, which he raised from "Fairy Rose" or "Baby Rose" seed obtained through catalogs.
