Inscription. Marjory Palmer (nee Staughton) was born in 1881, and was brought up on Eynesbury Station, near Melton. She married Claude Palmer (fifteen years her senior) when she was 21.

Marjory and Claude lived at Dalvui, at Mount Noorat near Terang. The original expansive garden at Dalvui had been designed by William Guilfoyle, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne.

Marjory lovingly restored and extended the garden. The Palmers had two children and were great friends with the Clarks. The two families shared interests in horse racing, polo and gardening.

Alister named this rose after Marjory when she was 55 years old. She died in 1968 at the age of 88.
