Mr. S. J. Bisdee, Bagdad, Tasmania. Argosy. I am planting more of Mr. Clark’s Argosy. I look upon it as the most satisfactory pink I have. It blooms away all through the season and is a fine garden rose.

p45 Alister Clark. A Rose Hunter’s Review. Many roses are overlooked and practically untried because they have not been sent out as novelties overseas. As an instance, take Sunlit, issued here in 1937 and practically unknown in Australia, whereas, listed and advertised in U.S.A. by Armstrong Nurseries and being illustrated in colour in the “American Rose Annual”, it is at last getting a chance. This is entirely due to the expense and trouble that Messrs Hazlewood took to get our Roses to America. I feel sure a good many more of our Australian Roses deserve the same chance, such as …. and Argosy.

p85 Mr. S. J. Bisdee, Bagdad, Tasmania. Argosy. I am still very much in love with this “Glenara” Rose. Some people don’t like its colour in their own gardens, but when they see it here, or blooms sent from here, they change their tune; and it is so healthy and perpetual and well clothed with foliage at all times. I shall plant more of it.

Mr. S. J. Bisdee, Bagdad, Tasmania. Secondly, the lovely Argosy. Here is one of the very best pink Roses which it has been my privilege to grow. Mr. Clark states that it is better than Korovo, which is certainly a very good thing, but down here in Tasmania Argosy is very much better. It is a lovely shade of pink, and is most beautiful at every stage. It is also a nice strong grower with good foliage. I hope everyone will grow it and get as much pleasure out of it as I have.
