Two New Roses Available. The National Rose Society of Victoria advises that two new roses raised by the late Mr. Alister Clark will be available from rose nurserymen this season. One of these is A. W. Jessep, which is described as an excellent bedding variety, with cerise-pink blooms, which are sweetly scented. The other, Mary Bostock, has shell-pink blooms shaded with white, with a strong tea scent. It is described as a strong grower, with mildew-proof foliage and erect blooms on good-length stems. Both varieties were given to the society by the late Mr. Alister Clark.

Autumn Rose Show. [...] A new rose raised by him, named Gladsome, he considered showed great promise, and he asked those present when leaving the hall to accept a cutting of this rose and try and grow it. Even if they did not appreciate the rose it would make a useful stock on which they could bud their favorite variety. Anyone not receiving a cutting should communicate with him and he would forward them one.

New Zealand Visitor. An interested spectator was Miss Cecily O'Rorke, niece of the late Mr. Alister Clark. She is at present visiting her aunt at the lovely old Clark home, Glenara, near Bulla, where a rose, named after her and shown yesterday, has been propagated. Although not herself a grower of roses — "I'm too itinerant," she explained — Miss O'Rorke can speak affectionately of the various varieties by name, as much of her time has been spent among the roses at Glenara. Yesterday she was wearing a buttonhole of Green Coat roses small, deep red and fragrant. This is a Glenara rose soon to come out which, she said, kept its color and form in all stages of its development.

The Rose Show.  
The most interesting feature of the show was contributed by Mr. Alister Clark, who staged a number of seedling roses, including Lady Medallist and Rosy Morn, raised in his "Glenara" garden. Obviously here is an example that might well be adopted by the ever increasing band of amateur rosarians.

National Rose Society - Autumn Show. 
Mr Alister Clark of "Glenara" Bulla, again staged no fewer than four tables of his decorative roses. While these included many well known varieties of other raisers, the majority were his own productions.
