The National Rose Society of Victoria has been presented by Mr. Alister Clark, the well-known grower and hybridizer, with two new roses of his own raising…….’Borderer’ is said to be a charming rose, the introduction of which makes an advance in the perpetual flowering polyantha roses, as it blooms right through the season, and carries the perfume of the Wichuriana roses, which usually only flower in the spring. Wonderfully free flowering, of good foliage, and dwarf habit of growth, it makes an excellent bedder and is very effective in bold masses or as a border rose. The flowers are double, and difficult to describe, but shades of pink, copper and amber, go together to make a very charming and distinct rose. This rose also has been well tried at ‘Glenara’ and proved most reliable and suitable to our Australian climate.

Deep red colors are rare among roses of the tea scented class, so rare, in fact, that they may scarcely be said to exist, as the two most, strongly marked examples, Marion Dingee and Princesse de Sagan, are almost devoid of the characteristic fragrance, but though probably containing Bengal or China rose blood, are classed as teas, and are otherwise quite typical in habit, growth and constant profusion of bloom. They are well adapted for pot culture and summer bedding, but need housing or thorough protection if left out over winter. Marion Dingee, is deep, rather dark crimson, while Princesse de Sagan has buds and blooms of brilliant velvety crimson, approaching scarlet in its intensity. Blooms are borne in the utmost profusion, singly, and in loose clusters, at all times during growth. The buds are very beautiful, and the open flowers hold their color until the petals fall. This variety has dark, tough foliage, which possesses the merit of being almost mildew proof — a great advantage in humid climates. One of the large growers says he never knew the foliage to be harmed by mildew — the infestation, when present, scarcely spreads from its minute point of origin and dies out without noticeable injury, instead of covering leaf and twig, as in too many other varieties. Marion Dingee is of American origin, and is an excellent variety, but scarcely as pleasing in bloom or as resistant to mildew as the foreign kind.

PRINCESS DE SAGAN (Dubreuil, 1887). - Another tea rose, which produces in the utmost abundance flowers of the brightest velvety crimson color. It is very free flowering, and the flowers are of good shape, though rather small, but it is expected that the stronger plants than have hitherto flowered will produce larger flowers. It is a genuine brilliant crimson.

ROSE SOUVENIR DE S. A. PRINCE. - This is a sport from Souvenir d'un Ami, and is quite equal, if not superior, to that old favorite both in strong glossy foliage and substance of petals. It is pure white and the best of the white Tea roses. It is considered an important acquisition. It is now in commerce.

The National Rose Society of Victoria has been presented by Mr. Alister Clark, the well-known grower and hybridizer, with two new roses of his own raising. The first of these, ‘Sunny South’, is described as “a decorative hybrid tea rose of vigorous growth, handsome foliage, strong constitution and good habit. The flowers are of beautiful coloring and form, being a lovely pink flushed with carmine on a yellow base, altogether a most distinct and charming combination, hitherto unknown in any rose. It has been well tried at ‘Glenara’ and has proved most suitable to the Australian climate, flowering continuously throughout the season, and in mid-summer sending up strong shoots crowned with flowers that last a long time when cut, and which require no artificial support to enhance their decorative value in the house where the delicate coloring of the well-shaped flowers is best seen."
