‘Charles Mallerin’. Hybrid Tea. Long, elegant buds open to very dark, dusky red, high-centred flowers that have a strong and sweet perfume. The flowers are lovely at the half-open stage. The leaves are dark green and leathery and somewhat prone to fungus diseases. Althogh vigorous, with good repeat, the growth is tall and erratic, so that the bush is often unattractive and gawky, with very long canes. Bred by Meilland in France and introduced in 1951, it has since featured in the parentage of some very good red roses, such as ‘Mister Lincoln’, ‘Papa Meilland’ and ‘Oklahoma’. (Rome Glory’ x Congo) x Tassin. Zones 6-9

‘Daydream’. Modern climber. Bred by Clark of Australia and introduced in 1925, this rose has recently become more readily available in Australia as interest in that country’s most notable breeder has increased. The flowers are described as waterlily form and they are light pink and semi-double with a lovely boss of stamens.
