The George Elger sold in Europe seems to be Perle d'or. I have bought two plants, one in Germany and one in France and I don't manage to make a difference with Perle d'or. They are not yellow like on your photos.

Yes, the first three photos on the George Elger file, taken in Europe, look like Perle d'Or.
Our George Elger - of which there are only a few plants left - is yellow, but not "coppery yellow" as in the early references. .

It would be interesting to know whether the Georges Elger at L'Hay is thornless. The Australian one seems to be, and there's been a suggestion that the foundling "Schmidt's Smooth Yellow" in the US may be the same rose. Both have a red tinge on the buds, which might fit in with the coppery-yellow description. No mention of absence of prickles in the references for George Elger.

Who still have or sell the yellow George Elger ?
Apparently by reading l'Hay les roses website they don't have Georges Elger in culture anymore.

Yes, it seems two plants were planted in 2000 and removed end of 2006. Indicates it was also an incorrect rose.
