S. J. Bisdee. Red Roses in Tasmania. Talking of Mrs. Fitzhardinge reminds me that she also raised another red climber – ‘Sirius’. This is a truly lovely thing, very fragrant and opens well at all times, but alas, the plant refuses to grow well. I have kept in in the hope that it may, one day, take a new lease of life, but I fear it is hopeless.

Mr. S. J. Bisdee. Tasmanian Notes. I want to ....turn to one of Mrs. Fitzharding’s creations, ‘Sirius’. I have had superb blooms this year, the best I have ever had; beautiful in colour, form and fragrance. They have been a sheer joy, but I just can’t get it to grow well. Whether it is soil, situation, stock or pure cussedness I can‘t say, but I’d give a lot to see it vigorous. I would be much interested to hear how it does elsewhere.
