Dr. A. S. Thomas. Yellow Roses.
Silver Jubilee is seldom seen to advantage until the summer and autumn crops of blooms. In the spring it is pale and coarse but later in the year it is an outstanding rose.

Silver Jubilee: I have had some really good autumn blooms at times, but they are too seldom. Discarded.

p43.  R. Marion Hatton.  An American Review of the New Roses. 
The Dickson Rose, Silver Jubilee, was a disappointment. Plants studied had good foliage, but made poor growth and produced a few shapely, very double flowers which opened ivory and lemon, showing pinkish tints in the heart, neither yellow nor white. If it doesn't improve this year we can get along without it.

Silver Jubilee.- Still subject to balling in spring, but first-class in February and March. A perfect exhibition Rose, light yellow in colour. 

p111.  Mr. R. T. Hamilton, Heidelberg, Vic.
Silver Jubilee, this past year, has proved itself a good garden Rose as well as a first-class exhibition bloom. A very vigorous grower; the flowers are somewhat pale and not particularly shapely in the spring, but the autumn blooms lack nothing in shape and are very good "lasters." Foliage glossy and free of disease.

Silver Jubilee, which came so highly recommended, has so far failed to give us satisfactory growth or colour.

p122.  Mr. S. J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Rose Notes
Silver Jubilee. Another Rose which shows a tendancy to ball. Colour was a light yellow, growth fair and foliage very good.

p124. Mr. Frank Mason.  The Newer Roses in New Zealand. 
Silver Jubilee is a fine Rose of a light golden yellow colour, and as far as I know there is no Rose that can beat it for shape. The bush seems to be strong and free.

p126.  Mr R. T. Hamilton, Vic.  Picking Winners Among the New Roses. 
Now for some that have impressed. Silver Jubilee made very good growth, but the spring and summer blooms were a disappointment. In the autumn, however, a number of fine blooms were obtained, and they held their shape as long as any Rose in the garden. On present indications, it appears that the blooms are improving as the plants become older and better established.

p36.  Frank Moore, Rose Echoes From the Homeland
The birth of the lighter yellows and creams has been even more prolific, and still they come. The love which you show for Silver Jubilee is shared by many of our exhibitors, and you probably grow it better than I do, for to me the Rose has few attractions, the colour insipid, the general tone being one of mediocrity.

p100.  S. R. Bird. Notes from Auckland
Silver Jubilee will, I am sure, give a good account of itself after these notes are in the worthy editor's hands.  With the unseasonable weather this Rose was prevented from displaying its true worth, but, given a good autumn, I hope to see some splendid blooms of Silver Jubilee.

p112.  Mr Frank Penn, NZ. Some of the Newer Sorts. 
Silver Jubilee promises to be a welcome addition among the novelties. Blooms are large and of good shape, but the growth, with me, is not as vigorous as I would like. It is early yet to pass judgment, but I like it.

p114.  T. G. Stewart, Vic. New Roses That Have Proved Themselves.
Silver Jubilee.- Excellent grower. Colour good, but not outstanding. Gives at times some excellent exhibition blooms, but too many come bull-nosed. Older plants may give better results. Lasts well on bush.

p118.  Mr C. W. Heers.  Roses in Queensland
Silver Jubilee.- This Rose has been heralded as a variety of special merit and, whilst its descriptive colouring revealed itself in the early stages, the general quality of its colour so far has proved to be weak and washy and quite unequal to our conditions. We hope for better results from this variety in the future.

p133.   Mr John Poulsen, NZ.  Canterbury Roses
Silver Jubilee.- Strong growth and extra good shiny foliage. The first blooms opened in drizzling weather and, being very full, were inclined to ball, but later blooms have been very good. I think that it will be much better in old plants. Should have
 a great future.

New Roses 1938.  Silver Jubilee (HT. A. Dickson & Sons 1937) F. 3.  Very large blooms of perfect form, made up of 50 petals, which open to a clear yellow with an orange flush in the centre.  The growth is vigorous with healthy, leathery foliage, while the variety must be considered as an outstanding exhibition sort.  E.

Harry H. Hazlewood.  The New Roses of 1938. 
Pride of place in the yellow section must certainly go to Silver Jubilee, HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1937). This is a really enormous bloom, of perfect shape, with 50 petals of yellow flushed orange and fading to lighter shades. The growth is good, with healthy, leathery foliage, and shows no sign so far of inbred weakness or Pernetiana fault. Unless some later fault develops this variety is the most outstanding novelty of the year.

Bush Roses
Silver Jubilee (Hybrid Tea) By Dicksons of Hawlmark, 1937... Light golden-yellow with chrome base and canary edge. The first blooms are really enormous, very full and of great quality, always developing well. The flowers produced in the second crop are smaller but of richer colouring, being shaded with light rose. The growth is strong, vigorous and hardy, resulting in a very satisfactory tree, producing a profusion of bloom. All keen growers of exhibition blooms will want this grand Rose, particularly as its usefulness is not confined to the show board. Certificate of Merit, N.R.S.; Gold Medal. S.N.R.S.
