Book (1936) Page(s) 528. Oriole (HT) California Rose Co. 1910; ?
Website/Catalog (Mar 1911) Page(s) unnumbered. Queens of the Yellows offered exclusively by California Rose Company, Pomona, California Oriole (Hybrid Tea) This Rose is a "Top Notcher" in every way. A "sport", the original plant being raised by an amateur- the parent plant being destroyed before we came into possession of the rose- and thus we are unable to state the parentage. Style of growth similar to Kaiserin; upright, clean, with unusually good foliage for Hybrid Tea stock and with us always free from spot or disease. Foliage and wood rather light green in color; wood fairly smooth; a persistent and constant bearer of the very finest grade of bloom which never seems to come ill-shaped or to blight; buds long, deep, pointed, retaining their shape unusually well; when matured, opening freely; medium full; petals of splendid substance and beautiful satiny texture. Color, golden yellow, clean and clear with no fawn or muddiness at any time; a lustrous, live color not common in yellow roses. The Price for Young Plants per 25, $2.00; per 100, $7.00
