Considerable interest was taken in the annual meeting of the National Rose Society of Victoria last week. [...] A gold medal was presented to Mr Alister Clark for a seedling rose, "Don Jose," raised by him. It was mentioned that the previous medal in this class was for "Marion Manifold," described as probably the best red climber in the world.

ROSE - "Subscriber" (Lockhart) — The climbing rose with flowers of a cream or flesh colored centre, and coral red on the outer petals has been identified by the Essendon rose specialist (Mr. S. Brundrett) as Madame Martignier. Although this rose is not well known, it should, says Mr. Brundrett, be in every garden. The bush rose with somewhat similar color features is Hugo Roller. There was another variety called Penelope which resembled Hugo Roller, and Madame Martignier, but it has gone out of cultivation.

[A response to an enquiry from a reader in Lockhart, NSW to identify a rose.]

NOTES ON THE SELECTION AND CULTURE OF PLANTS THAT BLOOM PRINCIPALLY IN WINTER.
...Mrs. Bosanquet is another old and extensively grown variety; from which flowers may be cut all the winter; they are not very double, but if cut when in bud, or just as the flower begins to open, they will be found very useful for decoration purposes; the flowers are delicate flesh colour.

The China Roses are very popular on account of the long time they continue in flower;  ... Mrs. Bosanquet is one of the best known old Roses of this class, and will, no doubt, be long regarded as one of the most useful varieties.

The China Rose (Rosa indica) and the Crimson China (Rosa Semperflorens) as their names imply, are both natives of China, and were introduced to England in 1789. The former is also known as the Bengal Rose. They are evergreens, and the parents of an extensive family. The Tea-scented China (Rosa indica odoratissima was introduced in 1810. The Fairy Rose (Rosa Lawrenciana) belongs to this section, and from its diminutive size it is frequently used for edging purposes; There is some doubt among botanists whether this is a distinct species or a dwarf variety. This section embraces a great number of varieties, and is characterised by the abundance of bloom and the fragrance of the flowers. In this class are included Mrs. Bosanquet, a well-known and favourite flower of a pale flesh colour ; Cramoisie Superieure, with rich crimson flowers ; and Archduke Charles, having large flowers of a pale rose colour.

ROSE SHOW.
Mr Alister Clark, the President of the Society, and the well known breeder of roses, including Sunny South, had the most promising seedling not in commerce, which he has named Lorna Anderson. He distributed numerous cuttings of a new red variety, Restless, and declared that it was his ambition to paint the gardens of Australia by proxy.

At the monthly meeting of the National Rose Society, in Melbourne last week, Mr Alister Clark, of Glenara, Bulla  made a novel display, including about 25 varieties of seedling blooms of the ramblers type raised by him, and eight bunches of favorite decorative specimens, in addition to a new single rose obtained from Western China and grown 7000 feet above sea level. It is named Moyesii. The foliage resembles the sweet briar, with a much larger bloom of very dark blood red.
