Remembrance HT (Howard and Smith, 1953) has grown well ....... It bears the same name as a rose raised by the late Mr. Alister Clark and presented to the War Graves Commission for planting in the cemeteries on Gallipoli, but, unfortunately the name of Mr. Clark’s rose was not registered, or listed, officially in any way; one of the conditions laid down was that it must never be offered for sale or used anywhere except on war graves. Consequently the naming of this new American rose has not been regarded as a duplication.

Roses are Blooming for Remembrance. Today in the war cemeteries throughout the Pacific, a blood-red rose is blooming… an Australian rose. It was not grown for vain display. It was not bred to satisfy a horticulturist’s whim. It was born for a nobler purpose – to be, in perpetuity, Australia’s continuing tribute to her war dead – to rise out of the very ground in which they lie. The flower is Australia’s own Rose of Remembrance, developed by that great rosarian, the late Alister Clark of Melbourne; its use is restricted to war cemeteries, and its name has been registered by the Imperial War Graves Commission. And now it flourishes throughout the Pacific. Soon it will appear throughout the world in each of the 28,000 war cemeteries in the Commission’s care and wherever those ….. illegible

Article/letter from Mrs. Simon Ross of Geelong:
.....By the way, I read this morning in my newspaper, that Alister Clark has given another rose as a “War Memorial” rose. May it be as lovely and brave as its predecessor, Lorraine Lee, which has given me so much pleasure and satisfaction.
