Mr. Clark states: ‘Rosy Morn’ seems to improve each year, and during the hot days of January has been a fine sight on the bush”. A word of praise from His Honour Judge Moule: “I am very much taken with Mr. Alister Clark’s seedling rose, ‘Rosy Morn’ as I have seen it growing at ‘Glenara’. It seems robust and vigorous, and well able to stand the summer heat. The flowers, though not perfect in form (like an exhibition rose), are borne in great profusion, and the colour is most distinctive. In my opinion, it is really a beautiful rose, and I am certain every rosarian will be delighted with it.

1922 The Gardening Bulletin, (E. & W. Hackett) S.A. p113. By ‘Greenleaf’. Rosy Morn is a lovely rose, but the plant is not a handsome one.

Mr. Clark’s second effort came in 1914 when that sweet, delicate pale pink pillar Rose, fittingly named Rosy Morn, was given to the Rose world. The writer confesses to a great partiality for this beautiful rose, which, while not so vigorous in its growth as others of Mr. Clark’s climbers, is a picture in the garden with its soft perfume and its wealth of delicate pink flowers. p52. 1914.
