Mr. S. J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Notes.
Romance is doing very well. It is only cream in the spring, but in the hot weather it comes a very nice yellow. Its foliage is nice and clean.

Frank Mason, N.Z.  The Rose Season. 
I have been very undecided about Romance, Roslyn and Frau E. Weigand. The latter is perhaps the better grower, but Roslyn has been a free bloomer and has out-flowered the others. Romance has the best shaped blooms, but is not as free as the others. I think Roslyn is my favourite.

Romance, on the other hand, is doing well, and will last.  Some blooms have red on the outer petals, which gives the whole flower a nice, refined appearance.

p108.  John Poulsen.  New Roses at Canterbury, N.Z
Romance. Good, sturdy growth, with splendid foliage and flowering freely. It has given some excellent blooms of great lasting quality. A beautiful yellow Rose which should prove to be very popular.

New Roses 1935.  Romance  Pernt. (E. Towill 1931) F. 2. A full rose of exquisite form, but too weak in growth at present. The colour in the bud form is reddish orange, changing to deep, clear yellow as the  blooms open.  This variety must not be confused with a climbing rose of the same name sent out in England.  Shows real Pernetiana character but does not die back.  Recommended for Pernetiana districts only.

Harry H. Hazlewood.  The New Roses of 1935.
Romance (Towill, 1931), a first-rate novelty from America, with double blooms (50 petals), of good quality and colour. Some of the flowers show a broad suffusion of reddish orange on the outside of the petals, giving a beautiful appearance.  Although partly Pernetiana, it gives promise of a good performance.
