J. Dupeyrat. Australian Roses in France. Only once at the International Competition of Bagatelle in 1926 have some of them been shown. That year five new varieties raised by Mr. Alister Clark were sent to Paris at his order by Messrs. Jefferies and Sons, nurserymen at Cirencester, England, to be studied and observed. They were Black Boy, Cracker, Gwen Nash, Queen of Hearts and Ruby Ring. The committee experienced a lively surprise and showed them a little out of place, seeing they were qualified hybrids of Gigantea. These varieties, although arriving in a season already advanced and planted late, not having had time then to develop flowers naturally, had, nevertheless, grown sufficiently that it was easy to see they did not show any of the characteristics of the Gigantea. I hastened to indicate to my colleages that an error of labelling must have been made, because, if I knew little then of Cracker, Queen of Hearts and Ruby Ring, I knew at least that Black Boy and Gwen Nash were hybrids of the tea Rose. I was later confirmed in this opinion by Mr. Clark himself, who, indeed, took the trouble of writing to me to show the exact crosses of the Roses concerned. Unfortunately, his letter, dated May, 1927, only reached me after the new reunion of the committee, held in June. It was not then possible for me to consider it at a useful time, and the next year the Roses of Mr. Clark did not exist, as they had perished during the winter.
.....my excellent friend, M. Turbat, a prominent nurseryman of Orleans .....in the same way, multiplied Ruby Ring .....but nearly all have disappeared from his nurseries, or at least from his catalogue, through lack of demand from buyers.

T. A. Stewart. Of course I visited Bagatelle on the Bois de Bologne, Paris – that Mecca of all rosarians and spent the morning under the guidance of M. Georges Steinbach who spared no pains to explain the methods of conducting the tests and making the awards, and also took great interest in showing the Australian roses sent by Mr. Alister Clark, and which in comparison with other roses appeared to be doing remarkably well and to be quite at home. Among the varieties at Bagatelle I noticed .... and Ruby Ring.

p142. Edward A. Jefferies, Cirencester. Some Australian Raised Roses in England. Ruby Ring is another distinct and vigorous climbing variety. The blooms in this case are single and about the size of American Pillar, each bloom being of perfect circular form. The centre of the flower is white, with a well-defined ruby ring surrounding it. The blooms are produced on elegant sprays and I find this a most attractive variety. The foliage rather points to wichuraiana parentage.

p161. Roses in the Adelaide Botanic Garden. J. F. Bailey, Curator. The climbers are on tripods and are a feature during late October and throughout November. It is then that the ramblers .....and Ruby Ring are to be seen displaying a wealth of bloom.
