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.

Vilhjálmur Lúðvíksson, Hardy Roses in Iceland. 
Jóhann Pálsson, started breeding experimentation in the early 90 ́s by controlled cross pollination between hardy species and varieties to attain new varieties adapted to the Icelandic environment. Thus emerged 'Hadda', 'Logafold', 'Hilda', 'Guðfinna', 'Drífa' and 'Fönn' and several more named varieties that now have become popular in Icelandic rose gardening. Common to all of these and more varieties is a R. rugosa background, some derived from Canadian varieties like Charles Albanel, Henry Hudson, and Prairie Dawn mixed with hardy species like Rosa pendulina, Rosa x kamtchatica, and Rosa francofurtana, 'Frankfurt' or German rugosa varieties like.'Schnee Eule' and 'Rotes Meer'. These rose varieties from Jóhann Pálsson ́s pioneering effort in Iceland have attracted some attention in the Nordic countries. The above mentioned Icelandic varieties are all included in the Nordic Collection to be inaugurated in Valby Parken at the WRC 2018 in Copenhagen.
