Australian bred R. gigantea Hybrids. A review as at October 2006 by Laurie Newman (Australian registrar).
The findings below are based on research of some of the writings of Alister Clark between 1924 and 1942. There are anomalies contained in the papers, but on balance I believe the list to be conclusive.
Firstly, there are the three listed in American Rose (Sept, 2006, page 9, namely,
Courier (MR11 LCl.)
Kitty Kininmonth (MR11 LCl.) and
Tonner’s Fancy (MR11 LCl.)
Add ……..etc. and
‘Scorcher’ (MR11 Cl. HT) (Pollen parent should be R. gigantea)
Add ‘Scorcher’ Seedlings:
'Lady Somers' (MR11, HT).
……My thanks are expressed to American Rose Society for inviting me to submit to the revised Gigantea Hybrid classification.

'Lady Somers' HT. 1930. 'Comte de Rochemur' x 'Scorcher' (one of Clark's). 'Full, open, slightly fragrant, fresh pink, tinted flesh' is the description in Modern Roses. We have a rose from Dettman's garden in Kyneton which fits this inadequate description, but there is no proof."
