Hmmm. More volunteer pruning duties in the offing perhaps. I wonder if there is still a plant at the closed Hilltop Nursery. And I wonder if Golden Vale still has their mother plant. Has David Ruston lost his plant?

Argus 26th March 1932
A new Australian rose, grown and exhibited by Messrs. George Knight and Sons, was shown at the Sydney Show.
It has been named 'Miss Australia'. It is a show type of flower, straight in the stem and strong in foliage, and it has a light, rosy flesh colour.
