Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden, Rose garden in Bulla, Australia
The Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden is a rose garden beside the former shire hall in Bulla, Australia, featuring dozens of rose varieties planted along open paths. Each plant carries an identification label showing the name of the variety.
Alister Clark lived at the Glenara estate and spent the first half of the 20th century breeding rose varieties suited to the dry climate of southern Australia. This garden was later created to honor his work.
The collection includes roses named after notable Australian women and successful racehorses from the early 20th century. These names reflect the interests and connections of the family who shaped this place.
The roses are in fullest bloom between October and March, so a visit during those months offers the most to see. Dry weather makes it easier to walk through the beds and take time with each label.
Several of the roses here were named after Australian racehorses, reflecting Clark's personal connections to the horse racing world. Authenticated specimens from his original breeding program still grow in this garden today.
