Souv. de Denier Van der Gon - what a pity it has such a terrible name! This lovely yellow Rose, which grows with exceptionally long stems, is especially valuable for its lasting qualities,

Good yellows:  Souv. de Denier Van der Gon (something like Golden Ophelia)

p101.  Miss Marjorie Walker, Cooma NSW. 
Souv. de Denier Van der Gon is a vigorous Rose, a deep yellow with a lovely perfume. It requires a lot of thinning, both in shoots and buds.

p123.  Mr S. J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Rose Notes. 
Souv. de Denier Van der Gon  This is doing very nicely.  In the cold spring weather it was rather cabbagey and colour was lacking, but when the warm days came along it was all that could be desired. 

p125.  Mr Frank Mason.  The Newer Roses in New Zealand.  
There is a new Rose with a very long name, Souvenir de Denier van der Gon, which would be more popular if its name was shortened. This is a strong grower with splendid, high pointed, light yellow blooms. It was said to be shaded with red, but so far I have not seen any of this colour. Unfortunately we have not been allowed to import any of the newer Roses for this year and shall have to depend on those that reach us as gifts.

p126.  Mr R. T. Hamilton, Vic.  Picking Winners Among the New Roses. 
Souvenir Denier Van der Gon is a disappointment.  Poor colour, lacks shape, no perfume to speak of. Its best feature is the vigorous tall growth.

p130.  Mr S. H. Bidwell, NZ.  Auckland's Roses
Souv, de Denier Van der Gon.-Very pleased with this Rose. Stands the hot, dry weather very well.

I predict a good future for Souv. de Denier Van Der Gon. (What a pity it has not a more simple name.) The long-pointed buds come on long stems and are a pretty orange yellow. As the blooms last splendidly when picked, this should make an excellent florists' Rose. It reminds me of Golden Ophelia, but is superior in every way.

p115.  T. G. Stewart, Vic. New Roses That Have Proved Themselves
Souv de Denier van der Gon.- Excellent growth. At present appears to be mainly a decorative type, but has distinct exhibition possibilities when well grown.

p117.  Mr C. W. Heers.  Roses in Queensland. 
Souv. de Denier van de Gon is, if anything, an improved Golden Ophelia; its name must prove a handicap in its race for recognition.

p127.  Mr S.J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Roses. 
Van de Gon (for short).- This gave great promise of being an excellent yellow. Delightful in bud; splendid growth and foliage.
Looks a winner.

p99.  S.R. Bird.  Auckland Roses, NZ.
Souvenir de Denier Van der Gon is a real find, and promises to supersede Golden Ophelia. The growth is strong and healthy and the blooms stand the heat excellently. A most beautiful soft golden yellow.

p108.  John Poulsen, NZ.  Roses in the South Island.
Souv. de Denier Van Der Gon.- Very vigorous growth, flowering freely.  Seems to be an improvement on Golden Ophelia in this climate, and is showing considerable promise.

p122.  Mr C. W. Heers.  Roses in Queensland
Souv. de Denier van der Gon.—A very double medium-sized but well-shaped bloom. Rather like Golden Ophelia in colour and appearance. Quite promising.
