The 1913 Biltmore Rose Catalog says "An exhibition rose that can be successfully shown in competition with the choicest roses of the garden. The color is pale flesh, darker at the center, and can be counted upon to hold a pleasing tint at all times. It flowers freely with very large full, globular blossoms that are richly fragrant. The plant is of robust growth. Where the blooms are to be produced for exhibition purposes, some attention should be paid to the richness of the soil, but otherwise the variety will do as well as many roses with little attention and produce well-formed flowers throughout the season."
