Sorry Karl. What I should have said was "the book". I've loaded the entire article in the breeder's page.

Onward and Upward in the Garden (2002/1958)
By Katharine S. White
p. 78
Melvin E. Wyant (Johnny Cake Ridge, Mentor, Ohio) offers a good general selection of the better-known roses. The unusual feature of Wyant roses is that they are all grown in the North and are all three-year-old plants. Since most nurseries sell only two-year-old plants, I pass the word along, although I have never grown a Wyant rose.
p. 152
Melvin E. Wyant, too, has apparently been sniffing every rose he grows, and he goes so far as to describe the individual scents as his nose dictates them to him: Sutter’s Gold has a “rich tea fragrance,” Grande Duchesse Charlotte has a “slight carnation fragrance,” Katherine T. Marshall is “fruity” and Joanna Hill “musky,” Rex Anderson smells faintly of lemon, and so on.
