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.

p30. G. A. Williams, Runcorn, Queensland. Understocks in Queensland. Queensland’s noted breeder, Fred Armbrust, has made a good start on understock breeding and has several crosses, some of them suggested by the writer. However, of course, results will be a long time hence. From a long friendship with Mr. Armbrust, I should imagine he has the understock question right at heart and will do his best to produce what we want here at any rate.

1966, June. Queensland Garden,
p11. Back in 1955 at his home at Blackwood Rd., Michelton, he found he was unable to produce exhibition blooms because the poor type of soil defied all attempts to improve it. At a last resort he turned to rose hybridizing, after having gained information on the subject from Mr. Cec. Homan, the then treasurer of the Rose Society. …..Since moving to Pascoe St., Mitchelton where the soil is better, Mr. Armbrust has started hybridizing again, and is working along very definite lines which promise great things in the future.
