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.

We do not have ANY photos of this Nursery!

Please do not upload someone else's photos without their permission. Thanks!

2002 Richard Aitken & Michael Looker Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens
p85. Charles Bennett.(fl 1880-90s) landscape gardener and nursery proprietor, was apparently the son of well-known English rose-breeder Henry Bennett (1823-1890). He arrived in Sydney c1886 and by 1890 had established the Standard Nursery, Homebush. ....His Practical Treatise on the Culture of the Rose (1891), a modest but early Australian work on roses, elicited praise from ‘Mrs. Rolf Boldrewood’ in The Flower Garden in Australia (1893). RA.

1887, March 15. the Illustrated Sydney News
p23: We are in receipt of the summer rose catalogue of the Standard Nursery Company at Homebush, in which many of the modern advances in this flower are described. It is right to say that the establishment is under the management of Mr. Charles Bennett, son of Mr. Henry Bennett, the successful and enthusiastic raiser of pedigree roses in England, and whose chef d'oeuvres in this interesting line of business are the rose ‘Her Majesty’, and ‘William Francis Bennett’.
