Alister Clark, Australia's most prodigious rosarian, bred roses to establish new, improved, hardier varieties that would flourish in the Australian climate, and grow better in Australian soils. He aimed to produce roses that would extend their flowering beyond a season: ideally to bear blossoms all year round. This book is a celebration of the sixty‐five women to whom the late Alister Clark, chose to dedicate Glenara Seedling roses. There is story behind each rose. The authors are noted for their detective work in finding "lost" Alister Clark roses. With the thread of Alister Clark's forty-year rose-breeding program linking the women together, the book presents biographical sketches of each woman rose name-sake, and provides contemporary rose-grower's notes on each woman's rose.
