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.

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.
pp104. A son, [of Henry Burton Bradley 1815-1894] Henry Houghton Burton Bradley (1845-1918), continued his father’s enthusiasm for horticulture. He was a foundation member of the Linnean Society of New South Wales (1874), wrote for the horticultural press, and gave lectures to local horticultural societies. He was a noted bulb grower and hybridist (especially Narcissus), his skill in this field admired by Peter Barr.

Recently Mrs. H. H. Hazlewood has come into possession of a manuscript book compiled by the late Mr. A. K. Moore who was very active in the Rose world about 25 years ago [1916] and from which the following additions to the list [of Australian roses] have been compiled.....

Arthur Moore, Hunter’s Hill, N.S.W. Some Australian roses.
1893 T. Mrs. H. H. B. Bradley Bennett NSW
Of the several roses standing against Bennett’s name, it is to be explained that the plants were originally raised in England by H. Bennett, a prolific hybridiser of his day, and on his death, circa, 1892 [1890], they became the property of his son, C. Bennett, at that time in business at the Standard Nursery, Homebush, N.S.W., and were by him first distributed to the trade – curiously enough, none of them seem to have reached England. They can, however, all be obtained from the Manager, Royal Nurseries, Homebush, which I believe is the successor in business of the Standard Nursery

The following roses* were raised by the late H. Bennett, of Shepparton, England and are in every respect first-rate.
Mrs. H. H. Bradley, s.[suitable for exhibition]; g.[garden]; d.[decorative]. Large, full, cupped; true salmon colour; a very vigorous grower of bushy habit. A seedling from Mme. la Barrone de Rothschild x Mme. Berard, having the foliage of the latter but is not a climber. A very remarkable result of hybridisation.
[*Note – The four roses listed are Cleopatra, Mrs. H. H. Bradley, Mrs. C. B. Pitt, and Mrs. James Wilson. Old Roses: The Master List 2007, p464 attributes ‘Mrs. James Wilson’ to A. Dickson, 1889]
