Rose names and dedications
Most of Clark's roses are named after and for women he knew, more often than not from landed families ("Cicely Lascelles", "Kitty Kininmonth"). Most women in his own family and all wives of Victorian Governors and Australian Governors-General had roses named for them. Lady Gowrie already had one, so hers had to be called "Zara Hore-Ruthven". Very few men received roses, all of them rose people in one way or another. Far more are devoted to racehorses: "Squatter"s Dream", "Tonner"s Fancy", "Flying Colours" and so on. Trailing the field are descriptive titles: "Sunny South", "Borderer" and "Daydream". "Scorcher" and "Billy Boiler" were slang for a hot day.
