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.

The Autumnal Roses.
The Bourbon Roses are real "perpetuals" or "remontants" rather, blooming more or less freely from frost to frost again. They are less thorny than either [the Hybrid Perpetuals or Damask Perpetuals], the thorns being strong and usually light-colored. The leaves are firm, almost leathery, smooth and glossy. The petals or flower-leaves are also unusually thick, and with a peculiar satin-like or burnished appearance that adds much to their beauty, and enables them to endure the heat of a summer's sun hot enough to cause all others to flag. The growth is hardy and luxuriant.
27. Aurore de Guide—light crimson, tinted with violet; a new and very fine variety.
Bourbon roses require but little pruning. Towards the end of February, their shoots may be thinned, and the long ones shortened.
