'Alister Clark'. Modern, Polyantha, light pink. Repeat-flowering. This lovely little rose occurred as a sport on a bush of ‘Marjory Palmer’ in Victoria, Australia. ‘Marjory Palmer’ had the Rambler ‘Jersey Beauty’ as a parent, and it is from this that ‘Alister Clark’ gets its large, extremely glossy abundant foliage. The bush has a short and very spreading growth habit and the flowers are large for a Polyantha Rose. They come in clusters and have widely flaring outer petals surrounding a center packed with petals. Flowering is continuous and there are no disease problems. Laurie Newman asked the descendants of Alister Clark for permission to name the rose, which was introduced in 1990, after him. This was approved and it is a fitting tribute to Australia’s greatest rose breeder. Zones 4-10. Newman, Australi

Amore. Cluster-flowered floribunda. Medium pink. Repeat flowering. This trouble-free small shrub has good dark green foliage and deep pink flowers with petals deeper pink on the outside than the inside. These appear in clusters freely through summer and autumn. The growth habit is medium and has a spreading tendency. ‘Amore’ is excellent as a shrub in a mixed border or among small shrubs and perennials. There is no scent. This variety and others such as ‘Cara Bella’, ‘Gay Vista’ and ‘Honey Flow’ were bred from ‘Spring Song’ by Frank Riethmuller of Sydney; they could easily be classed with ‘Lavender Lassie’ and ‘Ballerina’. All are superb plants for landscaping. Zones 5-11. Riethmuller, Australia 1957. Orange Triumph’ x ‘Spring Song’.

‘Annie’s Song’ is a short growing rose with shapely flowers that are cream and are heavily margined with pink on the outer petals. It is similar in colouring to ‘Handel’ but the pink is much deeper and it is more free-flowering. The flowers, which have 30 tough petals each, are good as cut flowers. Reaching 3 ft (1m in height). It has large, profuse, very disease resistant foliage on thorny stems. Zones 5-10. Spriggs, Australia, 1990. ‘Granada x ‘Kordes Perfecta’.

'Another Chance'. Modern. Large flowered Hybrid Tea. White. Repeat flowering.
The large pointed buds of ‘Another Chance’ are pure white and open to creamy, very full flowers of exhibition form. Flower production is good, the flowers lasting well on the bush, and the petals are tough and do not mark easily. There is a mild perfume. This variety grows to medium height and has bushy, matt, dark green foliage that is resistant to disease. The breeder gave this rose ‘another chance’, as it improves so much after its initial flowering in the seed bed. It deserves to be grown more widely than it is. Zones 4-10. Heyes, Australia, 1994. ‘Mount Shasta’ x ‘Saffron’.

'Apricot Queen'. Modern. Large-flowered hybrid tea. Apricot blend. Repeat flowering. What was once a very popular rose is now quite hard to obtain, and the reason must be partly in the deterioration that most varieties suffer after several decades of propagation, and partly in the fact that new roses have more appealing plant qualities than many of the old ones. ‘Apricot Queen’ produces slim buds, with elegantly furled petals, that open into well-filled scented flowers of rounded form. The color is basically apricot with salmon-pink shading and the succession of bloom through summer and autumn is good. Two drawbacks are weak flower stems and skimpy leaf cover. Even so, this is a pretty item for the garden that performs well in warm climates. Zones 5-8. Howard, USA 1940 ‘Mrs. J. D. Eisele' x 'Los Angeles. All-America Rose Selection 1981.

Asta von Parpat Old, Rambler, mauve.  This rose produces clusters of purple, medium-sized blooms that change to mauve-carmine in direct sun and which form on long branches during the summer flowering.  The ruffled blossoms are double and sit erect on their stems.  This vigorous shrub has dark, blue-green foliage and is one of a series of roses hybridised by Rudolf Geschwind in Hungary, where he used Wild Roses in his crosses.  All of them carry the strong, disease-resistant genes of Wild Roses.

Autumn Delight  modern, modern shrub, white, repeat-flowering. 
The buds of 'Autumn Delight are pointed and apricot yellow in colour, opening to near single flowers of very soft creamy yellow with beautiful stamens.  The flowers fade quickly to white in hot weather, but are particularly beautiful in autumn when huge heads of 30-50 blooms appear on strong shoots.  These are quite long lasting and retain their colour well. It forms a large shrub with dark green, leathery, disease-resistant foliage and very few thorns and is useful for beds, borders, hedges and for planting in groups among perennials. It has a huge spring flush, rather sparse bloom in summer and then puts on a wonderful autumn display. Zones 3-9.  Bentall, HK 1933.  Parentage unknown.
