    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.

    Are either of these words of Maori origin - Nauru and Ngauru?
    Ngauru appeared in the early New Zealand references, but Nauru was registered. I have noted other odd spellings in the literature.

    Am trying to sort out the oddities between
    76/870. 'West Coast' MACnauru and (Red Planet x Arturo Toscanini)
    75/483. 'Pink Charm' MACsatur. (Sunday x Ferry Porsche)
    Both are pink HTs and both have been called 'Penthouse'.
    Both have different parentages.

    Later edit. See also
    79/1125. Ngauruhoe (hybrid tea, McGredy 1979) (Marin County x Crisp)

    If anyone has any references or advice on the Penthouse affair, I would be grateful.

    ROSA, page 425 gives the breeding of MACnauru as
    [((Yellow Pages X Kabuki) X Golden Gate) X (seedling X Picasso)]

    They were nearly right. We have (Marin County x Crisp) from Sam’s breeding records.
    Now if in ‘West Coast’ you open LINEAGE / PARENTAGE TREE, you will see (Marin County x Crisp) and their parentages.

    Who supplied the breeding information to the registration authority? - Sam McGredy. Was this a case of Sam treating people like ducks and drakes?

    Very good question. I don’t know. But Sam supplied wood to his distributors to test them out. I think if they grew well in the distributors country, the distributor would have registered them.

    Agree, but the information had to originate from Sam in the first place.
