Alister Clark: There are several reasons why I should be bold enough to pen a few lines to the American Rose Annual …. On page 182 of the same [1923] Annual I appear to be credited with raising the roses ‘Ma Cherie’ and ‘Midnight Sun’, neither of which rose came from ‘Glenara’….

Rose Activities in Australia—The Annual was promised this year an account of his hybridizations by Mr. Alister Clark, of Glenara, Bulla, Victoria, but that genleman found it impossible to prepare he material, as he cabled the Editor in January. Mr. Clark is working with extreme care, and evidently with original ideas toward better roses for Australia.
Elsewhere E. H. Wilson, Assistant Director of the Arnold Arboretum, tells of what he found in Australia in the way of roses (See page 118).
Mr. George W. Walls, of Melbourne, has been a steady correspondent for seceral years, and he has provided accounts of the Shows Held by the National Rose Society of Victoria, and the observations on new varieties made by Mr. Cronin, the Director of the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. We are informed not only that the National Rose Society of Victoria has now "500 enthusiastic members who are keenly alive to the pleasure to be derived from the growing of roses," but that in the Botanical Gardens of Melbourne "there have been established testing-beds for the new imported roses as well as for the new local creations." The list forwarded indicates that while our friends on the other side of the globe have all the varieties with which we are working, in addition there are mentioned Mrs. R. C. Dell, Gwen Nash, Ma Cherie, and Midnight Sun as of Mr. Clark's production in Australia. The latter is said to be "semi-double, rich dark crimson in color, and a good grower. It will probably oust K. of K."
