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 description given of Rosa 'Peter Boyd' on HMF is incorrect. The flower colour is actually deep pink/purple with pale backs to the petals and it is reliably repeat-flowering from Spring until the first frosts. It is very close in appearance to a true Scots Rose with a high percentage of European Rosa spinosissima genes but repeat-flowering, unlike most Scots Roses. The parentage of Rosa 'Peter Boyd' given on HMF is incorrect and inconsistent with the appearance of this cultivar. The parentage given on HMF is not what I was told in confidence by Knud Pedersen. See also my article "Rosa ‘Peter Boyd’ and other repeat-flowering Rosa spinosissima cultivars" available online at academia.edu

Thank you, we have modified the description. The parentage was mentioned in the notes section with a question mark, as this information was available from a visit of Australian rosarians in Pedersen's nursery last year. If you have correct Information on the parentage we will be pleased to add it.

HMF listened this Rose as 'occasional repeat' but it is really a reflowering Rose. It is a Great Rose!
