SPRING ROSE SHOW
A beautiful non-competitive collection of roses was forwarded from the garden of Mr. Alister Clark, Glenara, Bulla (V.). Three tables were covered with blooms, which included bunches of varieties raised at Glenara and already well known to the public, many seedlings not yet released and still being tested out for quality and reliability, and a range of new and old varieties of garden roses. Among the seedlings was a choice bunch of a climbing rose. Ranging from deep rosy pink to pale blush at the base of the petals, it is somewhat near in colour to Rosy Morn and Lady Waterloo, but is a finer rose than either of these, with a deep bud, and exquisite when two thirds to fully open. Mr. Clark entered this seedling, with five others in the competitive section for the best new seedling not yet in commerce, and it was awarded first prize. He then named it Mrs.Harold Alston.
