Dingee Guide to Rose Culture, The Dingee & Conard Co., 1916, p. 54. “One of the Finest of all Yellow Roses A strong, vigorous grower and free bloomer, highly recommended both for open ground and house culture, which makes it more desirable. The flowers and buds are of extra large size, very full and finely formed and highly perfumed. Color, rich golden amber or gold, elegantly shaded with dark ruby-crimson, resembling the beautiful tints seen in a summer sunset.”
