World-wide known rosarian Dr. Alfred Strickland Thomas, O.B.E. of Balwyn, Victoria, has been honoured in the 1989 Australia Day Honour's list by being made a Member of the Order of Australia (A.M.) for his services to horticulture, particularly roses. Dr. Thomas, probably the world's most honoured rosarian, includes amongst his awards - an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.), the Dean Hole Medal (D.H.M.), the World Federation of Rose Societies Award (W.F.R.S.A.), the Stewart Memorial Award (S.M.A.), the Veitch Memorial Award (V.M.A.), and the Australian Rose Award (A.R.A.) With over seventy years experience growing roses and recognised throughout the rose world as a leading authority on Roses, Dr. Thomas has toured most countries of the world, lecturing and judging roses and has established himself as a fine ambassador for the rose and Australia.
