'Paul's  Lemon Pillar'  Climber  Cream    Early  summer   P3    H4 * 
Enormous pale lemon flowers, of high centred form, justify the continued planting of this rose. It flowers early, and then stops. I tried to grow it on one of our more inhospitable walls, in the hope that it would flower late enough for the Summer 
Show; but all it did was to refuse to flower until its head was over the wall. It does not like cold places. I could never see that it was a good rose for a pillar, it needs to be trained like a fan on a wall or fence. It is vigorous, and has the class of bloom one cannot forget. Raised by Paul  & Son  of Cheshunt from  'Frau Karl Druschki'  x 'Marechal Niel', and  introduced in 1915.

Paul's Lemon Pillar is almost a climbing counterpart of Sir Henry Segrave, one of the most reliable of all show roses. This climber blooms only in the spring, unfortunately.

Another favourite white rose of mine is Paul's Lemon Pillar. It should not be called white. A painter might see it as greenish, suffused with saulphur-yellow, and its great merit lies not only in the vigour of its growth and wealth of flowering, but also in the perfection of its form. The shapeliness of each bud has a scultural quality which suggests curled shavings of marble, if one may imagine marble made of the softest ivory suede. The full-grown flower is scarcely less beautiful; and when the first explosion of bloom is over, a carpet of thick white petals covers the ground, so dense as to look as though it had been deliberately laid.

On the other hand, Paul's Lemon Pillar - the winner of many championships, and probably the most popular light coloured rose in New Zealand - does not find a place in any of the Australian lists.

Paul's Lemon Pillar is probably the greatest climbing rose of all time. Capable of growing in the most arid soil, it can cover a fence and produce bunches of roses any single one of which is in the exhibition class.

Paul's Lemon Pillar I call the "Thousand Bloomer." It is now in its sixteenth year and, grown from a cutting, as thick as an ordinary pencil. From the base there are ten branches of the following circ., 6 1/2, 6, 5 3/4, 5 1/2, 5 1/4,  4 7-8th, 4 3/4, 3, 2 7-8th, 2 3/4; only two branches have been removed. This year it bloomed from October to January 3. One particular Rose this season was outstanding, the stem was 22 inches long and the bloom was supported by eight big buds which were arrayed around the bloom in perfect order as supports, the Rose itself being so absolutely perfect that it was a worthy representative of the Queen of Flowers, particularly as in this instance it was circled by eight budding ladies-in-waiting.

On page 29 appears an illustration of a wonderful Lemon Pillar, grown by Mr. J. M. F. Connelly, of Bayswater, Auckland, N.Z.  Mr. Connelly says that it was grown from a cutting planted 12 years ago, and last year it bore over 1,000 blooms. In confirmation of this statement he says that, at the end of the season, he picked and counted 854 seed pods, and is confident that during the blooming season he cut over 150 blooms.
