ROSE 'BLACK BOY'

ROSE 'BLACK BOY'

AUSTRALIAN HEIRLOOM, 1919: Raised by Australia's own preeminent rose breeder Alister Clark, 'Black Boy' is still the most popular crimson climber.

ROSE 'MME ISAAC PEREIRE'

ROSE 'MME ISAAC PEREIRE'

BOURBON, 1881: The opulent, dark-cerise flowers of this bourbon rose are enriched with the most intoxicating scent of all roses. The most sumptuous overlapping inner petals are delicately arranged, creating a quartered flower with each petal arching over the next in a pom-pom quill formation.

ROSE 'NANCY HAYWARD'

ROSE 'NANCY HAYWARD'

AUSTRALIAN HEIRLOOM 1937: Almost never without a flower, `Nancy Hayward' is the perfect climbing rose, and is continually smothered in vivid pink single flowers. Through breeding with Rosa gigantea, a towering climber from Burma and the Himalayas, Alister Clark strove to create repeat-flowering roses suited to our sun-baked Australian climate. I...

ROSE 'PIERRE DE RONSARD'

ROSE 'PIERRE DE RONSARD'

SHRUB ROSE, 1927: Bred in Meilland, France in 1927 for hot summer Mediterranean climates similar to Southern Australias.

Prolific in flowers, huge, heavy, pink and white blooms can have more than 60 petals in ...

Raised in Beluze, France, in 1843, this spectacular Bourbon rose was named for the Empress Josephine's country house, Chateaux Malmaison, and a superb cultivar for Australian climate thriv...
