Book (1949) Page(s) 146. Mrs. J. C. Robertson, Narracoorte, South Australia. Five years ago I planted in my garden, the wonderful climber Refresher. It was chosen at random from a catalogue description, and I have certainly never regretted the choice. It was planted together with three other climbers against a verandah, in an endeavour to cover the nakedness of our comparatively new home, but after two years had passed I realised I could have left the work to Refresher alone, for it had grown to a height of 14 feet and spread in two big arches 12 feet across. Since then it has been pruned severely to enable house-painting to progress, and also to keep the growth from becoming too unruly, but this hindered it not at all! The flowers in the late spring are a mass of foaming white clusters, which almost eliminate the attractive, fresh green foliage. As its name implies, Refresher is a most refreshing sight to behold. I can only add that I am surprised not to have read before, some words in praise of this charming, and delightful climber in the Rose Annual.

As I come to the Australians raised by our great hybridist, Mr. Alister Clark, the first thing that impresses me is the beauty of the names he has chosen for a number of his introductions: Refresher....and so on. The names fit the Roses beautifully, and are beautiful in themselves.
