Miss Harp HT. (Tantau). We reviewed this rose in the 1971 annual. We refer to it again because it has now been awarded All America Rose Selection for 1975 under the name 'Oregold'. Although the rose was sent to us to be released under the name 'Miss Harp', and you will find the name registered in the American Rose Annual 1971, we had also been advised that it would be known as 'Silhouette'. We mention all this so that readers will not be too confused we hope with all these different names. As for the rose itself we repeat again that it is very lovely in a deep smokey yellow, well-formed and with a good fragrance. It is better than any other rose in this colour, including 'King's Ransom'. Possibly not quite exhibition standard, but we have never seen it on the bench, nor has any real "promotion" ever been given to this lovely rose.

Silhouette, HT. (Tantau, 1969). Parentage not disclosed. Wonderful deep chrome to golden yellow colouring. Splendid form and size but the plants seldom grow to more than 1.5 metres and it does not bloom freely - my five plants are three years old. This rose has been registered officially under this, its original name, as 'Miss Harp' and again as 'Oregold'. All three names have appeared in the official list in the American Rose Annual. 'Miss Harp' and 'Oregold' are termed "commercial synonyms". If any rose is to be allowed to masquerade under three official names is there any sense in International Registration? Are we wasting our time and effort?

Dark green foliage and good bushy growth. Registered as 'Silhouette' and not as "Miss Harp" under which name it is being sold in Australia.

Miss Harp HT. (Tantau). Also known as 'Silhouette' overseas. We have only seen a few flowers, but they are lovely. A smoky-yellow colour, with strong perfume, and about 35 petals. Best of all it appears to be a good grower, and is most welcome in this colour range.
