(28 Jan 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. Sweet-Scented Roses. During the last few weeks some blooms of America have come under notice. Although we were not greatly impressed with this rose for the first two years after it was issued it seems to be improving, and looks as though it will be a very good variety. It is a good colour, sweetly scented, and well formed.
(8 Nov 1884) Page(s) 11. FORTY-EIGHT PRIZE ROSES. At the October Show held in the Adelaide Town Hall the Horticultural Society offered a prize for the best collection of forty-eight cut blooms from differently named Roses. This prize was secured by Mr. Edwin Smith, of Clifton Nursery, with the following, each of which was a good "Show" flower [...] Belle Emilie (Tea-scented) whitish cream, large, full, cup shape.
(28 Jan 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. Hot Weather Varieties. The climbing variety of Chateau de Clos Vougeot has been flowering continually throughout the month. It has been remarkable to notice how the flowers stood up to the hot weather. Most other red roses were very badly burnt, and were almost disfigured, whilst Chteau de Clos Vougeot seemed to stand the heat well. This is probably due to the wonderful texture of the petals. It is a great pity that this rose is not a better grower, and does not produce its blooms on longer stems. It is very difficult to secure flowers on stems sufficiently long for decoration.
(4 Feb 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. Climbing Madame Abel Chatenay has been particularly good in my garden. The plant is of true climbing habit, sending out long growths in all directions. The blooms produced by the climber are unusually fine, and it is free flowering.
(4 Feb 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. Climbing Maman Cochet, the pink variety, has also been remarkably good in its climbing habit, and, although plants at times are seen which do not climb well, this rose does not seem to go back to the bush habit in the way that some other climbing roses do that have been evolved as sports. A plant of this rose not more than five years old has covered a space of 15 feet in width and being more than 15 feet in height shows the vigorous nature of the plants.
(4 Feb 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. Two good blooms of Climbing Sunburst were seen this week, and, owing to the cold weather, they were of excellent colour; in fact, far richer than they were during the spring. This rose is a tremendous grower and a true climber in every respect, sending out long canes from all parts of the plant, which flower well. The foliage is a little sparse, but the plant makes up for this by its free-flowering habit.
(20 Oct 1923) Page(s) 12. THE ROSARY. By Dog Rose. [...] Good cream climbers are also scarce, but Comtesse de Gallard Beare [sic], a rose little known, is a really good one. The blooms somewhat resemble K. A. Victoria, are double, and of splendid texture, and they are held on good, stiff stems. They keep splendidly in water, and those wanting a good deep cream climber should make a note of it.
(28 Jan 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. A few sprays of Coral Cluster, the dwarf polyantha variety, were also seen that came from a cool district, and the flowers were remarkably good in colour.
(28 Jan 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. Courtenay Page has produced one or two flowers, but the blooms were very poor in quality. We have mentioned previously that we think this rose was overrated when issued, and when so many other excellent red roses are available it would be well for nurserymen to discard this variety, which does not appear to be of any particular value.
(4 Feb 1928) Page(s) 14. THE ROSARY By Dog Rose. Crepescule, previously mentioned as being a delightful yellow climber, not unlike Beauty of Glazenwood in its colour, has a great advantage over that variety, as it flowers freely during the autumn. It has good foliage, and, although the blooms are not large, they are borne in wonderful profusion, and are delightful for decoration. It is a grand rose for planting over arches and fences.
