Roy and Heather Rumsey, NSW. New Roses. 
Vatican HT. (Delbard). A well formed rose with a very fine high pointed centre, and generally of exhibition type. This rose appears as one which is likely to be better in the autumn than in the spring. It is pale apricot yellow, but there is more than a hint of a much richer colour which could come with plants a couple of years old and given the right fertilizer. It has about thirty petals.
