Book (2007) p46. 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 Daydream (MR11 Cl. HT). (Pollen parent should be R. gigantea).

Book (2004) Page(s) 82. Includes photo(s). ‘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. The bush is repeat-flowering and moderately vigorous – suitable for an arch or pillar. It produces a good crop of hips, providing the spent flowers are not removed. (‘Souvenir de Gustave Prat’ x ‘Rosy Morn’ or ‘Gwen Nash’). Zones 6-10.

In this I planted a collection of shrub roses – two or three of each. Alister Clark’s so-well-named, semi-single, pale pink ‘Daydream’ is here. This can be treated as a shrub or a small climber. I have treated it as a shrub but bent the long canes horizontally to increase flowering.

Personally I can’t imagine anything more beautiful than the lovely pale pink semi-single climber, Day Dream. Day Dream is supposed to be once flowering, but I found that this little bush has been in for just over a year flowered intermittently throughout the year until the winter, and I was absolutely delighted with it. This slide shows it at the entrance of the Alistair Clark garden which we are planting, a complete a record as we can get of Alistair’s Clark’s roses.....
