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.

Another fine example of rose rustling is “Barbara’s Pasture Rose” collected in a pasture near Cherokee, CA by the late Barbara Oliva, of the Sacramento City Cemetery Rose Garden. This rose closely resembles ‘La Reine’, a well known, vigorous Hybrid Perpetual that is pink with violet undertones and very fragrant. We grow both of these roses at the Banning, but so far the growth habit remains different.

Barbara [Oliva] collected “Barbara’s Pasture Rose”, an especially vigorous La Reine-style Hybrid Perpetual, by slipping under a barbed-wire fence to get it.

"Barbara's Pasture Rose" (HP, Found, Parentage, Introducer, & Date Unknown) This little-known foundling bears sumptuous pink blooms, tinged violet. Opening as flat globes, finish as flat, five-inch, ruffled saucers, the fragrant blooms are gracefully erect, on sturdy green stems with few prickles, showcased against clean, medium-green foliage. This is a vigorous, mannerly, rounded plant, with a heavy spring bloom and a good Fall repeat. “Barbara’s Pasture Rose” has exhibited great resistance to powdery mildew and rust, in spray-free California gardens. Its “true” name may or may not ever be known, but under ANY name, this lovely foundling deserves to be better-known, and widely-grown. Collected (yes, in a pasture) near Cherokee, California, by Barbara Oliva of the Sacramento City Cemetery.
