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.

(AuscrossWindflower
One of our most beautiful English Roses.  It bears its flowers high up on wiry stems, giving it an airy profile not unlike that of herbaceous anemones (or windflowers).  The blooms commence as cupped buds and open to dainty, rather informal and slightly cupped flowers of soft lilac-pink.  It is remarkably disease resistant and repeat flowers well.  There is a charming Old Rose fragrance, with hints of apple and cinnamon. [...]
We chose to name this rose after the common name for Anemone because it holds its flowers with something of the grace and poise of the windflower.

Windflower Description... Related to the Alba Roses... the flowers are daintily formed with scalloped petals that incurve at the tips, which give the kind of charming, rather frail effect commonly associated with anemones (meaning 'windflowers' in Greek)...
