‘Captain Thomas’ = Grimpant à grande fleur… se couvre en fin de printemps de boutons effilés, puis d’églantines jaune citron lavé d’ivoire sur le pourtour de leur corolle fripée… parfum léger. La floraison de mai-juin, généreuse, est suivie de rappels sporadiques… végétation vigoureuse, le feuillage vert clair et satiné, et la plante peut-être palissée sur colonne ou laissé libre, en grand arbuste un peu désordonné. Vieux de plus de 60 ans, il s’est révélé un excellent géniteur de rosiers à fleur jaune… Thomas, US, 1935.

R. Marion Hatton.  The World's New Roses
Capt. Thomas, a posthumous pillar Rose by the late Capt. Geo. C. Thomas, Jr., is a many caned pillar with long yellow buds and three and a half-inch single flowers of pale yellow ageing ivory white. It is sweetly fragrant and blooms right up to freezing weather. It should do well with you.

R. Marion Hatton.  An American Review of the New Roses
A quintet of rather tender climbers came out of California last year, two of them, Capt. Thomas and Rose Anne, being posthumous varieties of the late Capt. George C. Thomas, jun. The former is a large single flower of deep primrose, becoming paler as it develops, blooming in clusters all through the season, while Rose Anne's buff apricot flowers are semi-double. They are both promising, but I doubt their hardiness in our climate.
