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.

Rosa umbrella. A delightful botanical Rose.
Its origin cannot be established. According to its botnical characteristics it belongs to the class of Rosa moschata, of which she will be a subspecies or variety. Strictly speaking, we do not have here a wild rose, but the botanical form of one. She represents a simple, but appealing Beauty. ...
The grafted Rose starts blooming early July and continues for many weeks. It is not seldom that a single one of the pyramidal trusses has 50-70 blooms and each cane blooms in the first year. The plant resembles in height and spread a vigorous Polyantha, being not less floriferous than such. The bud which is covered by the calyx until over its tip, is cream-yellow; its form long and pointed. The blooms is larger than R. canina and when expanded, pure white, with 5 petals; veined above, thus looking crepp-like. The fragrance is fine spicy. Just now, on the last day of October, several autumn blooms are pleasing me on a relatively full long-caned truss.
I am hoping for a bit larger bush in the second year, although I am already assuming that the dimensions of new beloved will be restricted. The blue-green coloured, light green shimmering foliage is small and is of most beautiful effect in contrast ti the virginal white bloom. I believe I am correct in assuming that the botanical name "umbrella" pertains to the umbrella-like inflorescence.
