Would anyone please be able to confirm if this climber is Daydream or point me in the direction of other possibilities. It is located where Queen of Hearts, Clark, A. should of been planted. It would most likely be an Alister Clark rose.

It looks about right, but I don’t grow it. How does HRG167 J10 compare with the Daydream at HRG167 J14?

Hi Patricia,
I had initially compared this rose to its neighbour and they were pretty much identical. I just thought on the side of caution to seek another opinion. These two on the Tennis courts always outshine the one in Rex Hazlewood.

This looks like Daydream. The blooms are right, the hips are right, the very prickly stems are right, the growth habit is right and the foliage is right - including its susceptibility to black spot.
The blooms are exquisite and the hips are quite dramatic - it makes a large crop of hips if the spent blooms aren't trimmed.

Thanks billy teabag,
It will now have the correct plaque made for it.

On your listing for the Senate Tennis Courts, you have the class listed as Climbing Hybrid Tea, Hybrid Gigantea.
Are you happy with that for your set-in-stone plaque?

How Remontant Climbers Act
American Rose Magazine 3(5): 86 (September-October 1939)
Mrs. Thomas Howell Scott, Atlanta, Ga.
I have been watching my Climbers this season to see from what part of the bloom lateral the second, third, and fourth blooms come.
...
Daydream has had a bountiful second crop, all new bloom laterals starting from the old cluster where I was careful to remove hips only, not more than an inch of stem.

Re the pollen Parent of Daydream: Souvenir de Gustave Prat × Rosy Morn (climber, Clark, 1914)
1928 The Australian Rose Annual - page 20
Alister Clark: A pod of self set seed from Frau Karl Druschki gave me my Rosy Morn, a really beautiful pink climber, sadly neglected. Apparently it gets its pink from a former parent, Caroline Testout, and I have used Rosy Morn, with good effect as a pollen parent, as is shown by Queen of Hearts, Fancy Free and Daydream.....
