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.

"R. ‘Mrs. Maude Alston’ was renamed to R. ‘Mrs. Alston’s Rose’ after Tid Alston informed us that had Alister named the rose, he would have called it ‘Mrs. Tom Alston’ and not ‘Mrs. Maude Alston’ (reflecting protocols of his time)."

Tid Alston. The Clarks and the Alstons of Oaklands. My mother enjoyed attending the races with Mr. Clark, and he would give my mother roses that he had raised, saying “Stick them in and see how they do.” They were almost always without names at that stage. One has been named simply ‘Mrs. Alston’s Rose’; it has not been found anywhere else.

Sheriden Page: The Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden at Bulla…….. The garden is the result of tireless work by Tid Alston who as a young girl often visited Glenara, the home of Alister Clark, and who was keen to have the internationally recognised rose breeder honoured in his home town. Her dream of a garden was realised with the support of the Bulla Shire and donations from John Nieuwesteeg, Mistydown Perennials and a grant from the Australian Open Garden Scheme. Tid also led a team of dedicated volunteers from Bulla Garden Club in setting up the garden in 1997 and it is still maintained by the Garden Club. …… The Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden is situated on the corner of Bulla and Somertons Roads, right at the roundabout. You can’t miss it for the roses will wave at you.
