Dr. A. S. Thomas.  Malar Ros is my mainstay as a specimen bloom.  I have won more awards with it for Best Rose than with all others combined, yet I do not regard it as worth anything as a garden rose.

p37-5  Dr. A. S. Thomas.  My favourite Rose?  I have often been asked to name it and have never been able to do so.  Malar Ros is my No. 1 specimen bloom, but not my favourite rose. 

p55-5  Thomas Hogg.  An Old Grower Looks Back.  Malar Ros has been particularly fine, with an abundance of sweet small flowers that have been a joy.  It may be remembered that at 1945 Spring Show was an exhibit of outsized blooms of Malar Ros….Getting back to Malar Ros, I had some of these overlarge ill-shapen blooms on the plant last spring.  It is a variety that requires careful handling;  probably the removal of spindly growths and not overmuch shortening at winter pruning time, followed by little, if any, disbudding, may make Malar Rose one of our best Roses.

Malar Ros (Garden & Show) One of the very best ruby reds; a grand rose of highest qualities and some deplorable faults. The colour is rich and lasting, with a crimson sheen. Form is perfect and there is a sweet perfume. Grows vigorously and blooms freely, but it may die down on some shoots at times to rise again with fresh growth. Big blooms of exhibition type. Fragrant. Habit 3. (HT)

p31-4  Dr. A. S. Thomas.  ….Old Chateau, Christopher Stone, Fraser Annesley, Mdme. Edouard Herriot, and lots of others are outstandingly beautiful, but could hardly find a place in a “twelve distinct”.  A bowl of any of these is very attractive – much more so than a bowl of say, Mrs. Charles Lamplough’ or even Malar Ros…..

p103-7.   Mr. F. Platt.  Sydney Spring Rose Shows.  Malar Ros.  The most shown red.  A good lasting Rose that is often considered by the judges when picking the champion.

'Malar Ros'. A strong, upright type with free branching and flowering habit. Buds are large and pointed, and opens to glorious large blooms of dark red, sometimes with a glistening sheen of crimson. Usually rich perfume of old rose. A first class garden and exhibition sort, but in some districts the stems are liable to die back to the base, but new shoots are produced without any weakening of vigour. Highly recommended.

p53-1   Frank Penn. The Old and the New.  Malar Ros is a red of 1934 that should be grown more.  It is rather a dull red, but a vigorous grower, and the blooms, often of exhibition order, are delightfully fragrant.

p52-1  H. Alston.  Rose Progress in Victoria – Roses Ancient and Modern.  Most modern roses are, as a whole, better equipped in the matter of form than their ancestors.  Who, for instance, could compare the globular shape of ‘Mrs. John Laing’ with the high-pointed centre of Malar Ros or ‘Dame Edith Helen’. 
p52-4  ibid.  Among the best of the moderns, in the writer’s opinion, are… Malar Ros, a strong grower, with deep crimson flowers of perfect form.  

p130-16. Mr. W. H. Dunallan, Vic.  Malar Ros (red) has had its best season.  Its well formed blooms of lovely perfume make it an outstanding variety.

p35-1 Frank Moore, Slough. England.   The contemporary fashions are Malar Ros and ‘Crimson Glory’.   The first is now in her third year with me,and perhaps the best behaved red which I have grown.  The size and form are good, and while she is far from being a really vigorous grower, she does try.  The fragrance is good, but the colour has unkindly, but not untruly, been compared with as nice new brick.  

p121-7 Mr. W. L. Summers, Blackwood, S.A.  Malar Ros – One of the best red garden Roses I have tried of recent years, free blooming, good shape and substance.  Vigorous, sweet scented.
