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.

29 - Rosa chinensis, var. Grandiflora Hort.
Rosa chinensis var. grandiflora: inter formas hujus speciei distincta floribus magnis, albis, simplicibus.

This is a fine form of Rosa chinensis Jacq., with very large shell-pink and white flowers, and approaches most nearly to Rosa gigantea of Collett. All attempts to trace the origin of this beautiful Rose have failed, for no mention of it has been made in any of the books on Roses, and it has not been figured. The only specimen known was found growing in Canon Ellacombe's garden at Bitton in Gloucestershire, and it is through his generosity that the plant has lately been distributed.
