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.

‘Big John’ /STEteaw. Moderne, Grimpant à grande fleur, tons roses, remontant. Ce grimpant pourrait tout aussi bien se classer parmi les grands arbustes. De forte végétation, il buissonne jusqu’à 2m de hauteur, pourvu d’un feuillage dru, vert franc et satiné. Il porte des fleurs bien pleines, d’une quarantaine de pétales, élégantes et de bonne substance, crème bordé de rose carmin, un peu à la manière de l’hybride de thé ‘Olympic Torch’. La floraison est presque continue et les fleurs sont de longue durée. Résistant aux maladies, ‘Big John’ est un bon choix lorsqu’on désire un petit grimpant, mais il est suffisamment compact pour se passer de support. Zones 5-9. Stephens, Nouvelle-Zélande 1995. Ascendance inconnue

A most spectacular sight along the verandah of the [Te Awamutu] Bureau Office was a climber 'Te Awamutu Centennial', bred and raised by a local member, the late Mr. Pat Stephens, who was a former National president of the N.Z. Rose Society. This many petalled rose of wavy edged white with rosy pink petal margins, blended well with a bed of 'Raspberry Ice' beneath it.
