I have noticed as well as Ines Diaz that some red flowers appear on the rose bush. I have tried to isolate the branch for propagation.

Yes, a reversion to 'Jessie' or 'Phyllis'. This race of polyanthas has had a significant tendency to sport

In a corner space Messrs. Wm Cutbush and Sons had a very attractive group of the cluster Roses, and this included the new dwarf Polyantha, *Orange King*, which is of erect habit, and bears small flowers of uncommon colour.

The Garden: An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Horticulture p. 248 (1925)
Dwarf polyantha roses in pots, grown as bushes or standards, are very decorative and are profuse bloomers. A good exhibit of this type of rose was shown by Messrs. Cutbush and Sons, who included in their collection such varieties as Edith Cavell, *Orange King*, Salmon Queen, Orleans Rose and Tausendschon. *Orange King* is quite a break in colour, the pinkish orange flowers are small and very dainty. Salmon Queen is a paler shade; and Orleans Rose is of a similar colour but darker, and so lacks that softness in tint which adds to the beauty of *Orange King*.
