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.

John Nieuwesteeg, The Nieuwesteeg Heritage Rose Garden at Maddingley Park, Bacchus Marsh. “Miss Madden’s Climber” similar to ‘Cicely O’Rourke’. Planted against the Rotunda.

John Nieuwesteeg included “Miss Madden’s Climber” in his Connoisseur’s Collection of roses in 2007. He says he obtained the rose from a gardening friend who had it growing in her garden, and who had in turn obtained it from the Madden’s property in Healesville, almost opposite the Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary. John’s friend had known Miss Alison Madden, who had a connection to Alister Clark. According to John , the rose has all the characteristics of a Clark rose, and it is very similar to ‘Cicely O’Rorke’ indeed both roses could have come from the same batch of seedlings. He is 99% certain that "Miss Madden’s Climber" is a Clark rose. Miss Madden was one of a group of keen gardening people in the Healesville area. John says it is not surprising that Clark roses have been found in diverse places, as Alister Clark gave out his seedling roses very freely, often to country people with property, like himself.
