p79.  Dr. A. S. Thomas.  Yellow Roses.
Moonbeam is said to be a seedling from and an improvement on McGredy's Yellow. My two plants of Moonbeam are, as yet, only a few months old and so I cannot say more than that the colour is similar, the form is good, and the growth is apparently vigorous. 

p130.  Dr. A. S. Thomas.  New Roses.
Moonbeam (Robinson, 1950) is similar in most respects to McGredy's Yellow, but is said to be superior to it. A few more petals and better constitution than the older rose would be welcome—has this new rose got them?

p138. Miss Pat Mason, Auckland N.Z. 
Moonbeam, a seedling from McGredy's Yellow, has come with excellent overseas reports. Blooms observed were very similar, in colour and type, to the parent; growth is reasonably good. It is hoped that this new variety will not display the temperamental habits of McGredy's Yellow.
