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.

Bourbon. — George Peabody is a beautiful rich crimson purple, apparently dwarf habited on Manetti, but a free grower on its own roots; it is a continual bloomer and a free bloomer. Its raiser has not said one word too much in its praise. A bed of it on the Manetti stock would be very gratifying.
From Florist & Fruitist, February 1861, p.57:
Roses in Dorsetshire.
I will refer therefore to the Exhibition which took place at Salisbury, after describing a few Roses new, or at least so to me.
George Peabody, from Baltimore, 4 plants on their own roots, is of very vigorous growth, of deep crimson-purple, with very thick petals, three blooms were taken to Salisbury, had been rained upon, more or less, for a week, and yet wore well, and were in the winning pan; this will be one of the greatest of favourites when better known...
