J. Dupeyrat. Australian Roses in France. ….my excellent friend, M. Turbat, a prominent nurseryman of Orleans, tried, but has not succeeded up to the present, in scattering Australian roses in the gardens in his region (centre of Northern France). Already for a dozen years he has tried to introduce there a number of your varieties that he has procured through the agency of an English rosarian – Scorcher, Fancy Free, Kitty Kininmonth, Jessie Clark, Mrs. Frank Guthrie and Flying Colours. The first four were received by him in good condition; the other two on the contrary, had not survived the transportation. It is he also who made Black Boy known to us, he furnished me with a specimen in 1924. Later he has, in the same way, multiplied Australia Felix and …. But nearly all have disappeared from his nurseries or, at least, from his catalogue, through lack of demand from buyers. I regret infinitely that it should be so, and my regret is not merely simple words of courtesy, because of the gracious attention with which your fellow countrymen have twice honoured me. It is indeed my sincere thought.

Alister Clark: Australia Felix makes a splendid bedder and although the colour may not be quite right in hot weather, it is indeed a solace in autumn and winter, especially as a cut flower. It came from Jersey Beauty x La France and has good scent and foliage. It is a standby at ‘Glenara’ but does not appear to have been largely planted elsewhere.

p20 Alister Clark: We get the scent of most roses by bending over the bloom, but such roses as the White Banksia, the Musk Rose, the Sweet Briar, Greta Fey (H.W), Australia Felix (H.T.) and others will scent the air around them and thrust themselves on our notice.

p21 I rejoice to find scent in many of our Australian Roses, particularly Australia Felix, Loretto, Countess of Stradbroke, Borderer, Milkmaid, Sweet Seventeen, Queen of Hearts, Amy Johnson, Australian Beauty, Mrs. Albert Nash, Southern Cross, Mrs. Harold Brookes, Joyce Fairy, Golden Dawn, and M. A. Lippiatt and Firebrand from New Zealand. Almost every rose has some perfume, but those mentioned here have undoubted and pronounced claims to be amongst the sweetest.

p53. 'Australia Felix' (hybrid tea) 1919. Alister Clark, Vic. The flowers are pink, well shaped and very sweet, and last well when cut. It makes a fine bush, does well as a standard and has a splendid constitution. When massed it makes a fine bedding rose, blooming right into winter.

p97. E. M. Grassick. Mr. Alister Clark filled three tables in a non-competitive display of Roses. There were bowls of his most popular varieties, ….and Australia Felix.

p23. Alister Clark: A seedling, especially a tea rose, requires some age before it can show its true worth, and although not attractive in Spring may be really fine in Autumn and Winter. Take roses such as Louis Tarboreich, G. Nabonnand, Madame C. P. Strassheim, Mrs. Frank Guthrie, Australia Felix, General Schablikine, Peace and Sophia King. One could easily overlook them in the Spring, but in Winter they are the pride of the garden.
