'Australia Felix' rose References
Book  (1997)  Page(s) 250.  Includes photo(s).
 
p250. Australia Felix. HT 1931(sic). ‘Jersey Beauty’ x ‘La France’. Small semi-double, cupped, fragrant flowers of silvery pink, on a low bush. Very recurrent. Plant came to us (without a name) from the Alstons and Eve Murray. Fits the description of ‘Australia Felix’ and distinctive shape of petals corresponds with old photographs. ‘Sweet Seventeen’ and ‘Fancy Free’ seem to be similar, and until our plant was identified I called it ‘Alister Clark’s Pink Floribunda’.

In a choice of varieties for bedding, where perhaps a dozen roses of one variety are planted, the natural shape of the bush should have consideration as well as the colour and quality of the flowers. .... Australia Felix is another ideal bedding rose, not valued nearly as highly as it should be in gardens; pink on a white base, the flowers are borne over eight to ten months of the year.

Alister Clark: …..Moving on, we come to a bed of Australia Felix. This healthy Rose scents the air around and it is at its best in winter, and lasts wonderfully in water.
