(30 Nov 1901) Page(s) 13. Resuming our notes on the roses grown at the Queen's-park, Moonee Ponds [...] The collection of teas and hybrid teas is very large. [...] Adam is a very old variety, and still a fine kind;
(22 Apr 1922) Page(s) 9. NOTES ON THE ROSE SHOW Agnes Barclay is another very pretty variety, somewhat like Fortune's Yellow. [Describing Clark blooms exhibited at the Melbourne Autumn Rose Show.]
(16 Apr 1921) Page(s) 9. NATIONAL ROSE SHOW. Mr. Alister Clark staged a large number of blooms, amongst them being some beautiful seedlings of recent origin. Agnes Barclay is one giving great promise for garden decoration and bedding purposes.
(14 May 1927) Page(s) 17. A catalogue of roses for the 1927 season has been received from S. Brundrett, Essendon Rose Nursery, Moonee Ponds, Victoria. All the best of the old roses have been listed, and among recent new roses are Agnes Barclay and Billy Boiler, two roses presented to the National Rose Society of Victoria by Mr. Alister Clark. Agnes Barclay is a good decorative rose, of yellow and reddish salmon tints. The growth is low and shrubby, but densely covered with clean, mildew-proof foliage. It would form a fine low hedge in a garden, and if a quantity were planted in this manner a continuous supply of blooms might be gathered in winter and summer alike.
(16 Apr 1927) Page(s) 20. AUTUMN ROSE SHOW. Agnes Barclay, an apricot salmon rose, presented by Mr. Clark to the National Rose Society, may now be ordered, and is a typical specimen of a rose which blooms over many months. The foliage is mildew-proof and blight-proof, and when used as a low-growing hedge, 4ft. to 5ft. in height, it is very effective.
(24 Aug 1907) Page(s) 11. Amazon seems an inappropriate name for a moderate-sized flower, very beautiful in its rich yellow colour. The flowers are very freely produced, and the rose-coloured streak on the outside of the guard-petals is very distinctive. In many respects this variety may be considered the best of the yellows, which bloom so late.
(14 Sep 1935) Page(s) 70. Horticultural Notes. Mr. Alister Clark's ability to produce roses at any season of the year from his beautiful garden at Glenara, Bulla, Victoria, is a continual surprise. At the Canterbury show, held last week, be presented a display of roses, covering a 6ft. table, and including some choice blooms of varieties raised at Glenara.The most beautiful bunch was Amy Johnston [sic], the pink rose which he named in honour of Miss Amy Johnston, the aviator. The blooms were as fully developed and well grown as if the rose season were in full growth.
(11 Nov 1911) Page(s) 14. A Toorak Garden. ... Beaute Inconstante is charming, but its large coppery-red petals open wide, and they fall quickly.
(26 May 1934) Page(s) 40. CLIMBING ROSES [...] Cherub, a delightful single salmon-pink rose, and can be artistically placed as a large-growing specimen on lawns as well as in other settings
(28 Apr 1928) Page(s) 53. AUTUMN ROSE SHOW. T. A. Stewart won a number of prizes in this section, including first in nine roses distinct, six bunches decorative [ ... ] In his six bunches of decorative he also included Christine de Noue, a beautiful old rose, which could hardly he obtained now from any nursery, yet it has been growing in his garden for 25 years, and, as it stood in the stand, compared very favourably in every respect with newer roses. It is a rich red to pink colour, has long stems, vigorous growth, and lasts two or three days inside after cutting.
