Peter J. Booy patented a mimosa-yellow sport of 'Coral Pillar'. No name is mentioned.
Plant Pat. 2,047
1 Claim. (Cl. 47--61) :
My present discovery concerns a new and distinct variety of rose plant which originated as a sport of the everblooming pillar rose variety Coral Pillar (unpatented). My new variety of pillar rose was discovered by me in my rose gardens at San Jacinto, California and several years of asexual propagation by budding, at San Jacinto, California and at Hemet, California, under my supervision, has proved the new variety to reproduce true to form.
The new variety is similar to Coral Pillar in form and growing habits. However, the color of the blooms of the new variety is a rather pale yellow with tinges of pink on the petals, as distinguished from Coral Pillar which is pink. Also the new variety blooms more freely than Coral Pillar, the blooms being of medium size and borne in clusters comprising an unusually large number of buds and flowers in various stages of development.
The new plant blooms profusely and continuously from early spring through the fall and has a vigorous, strong and upright growth reaching a height of five to eight feet with abundant foliage. Also extensive cultivation of the new plant at San Jacinto and Hemet, California has shown the plant to be highly resistant to the rose diseases prevalent in that area; namely, mildew, blackspot and cancer. Observation and testing of the new variety for disease resistance was done in the growing fields at San Jacinto and Hemet, California where the said diseases do appear to attack other rose varieties.

Coral Pillar - Crimson Glory x Capt. Geo. C. Thomas This variety has an upright pillar type of growth with abundant, large, glossy foliage which so far has never shown even a slight infection of mildew. The abundant production of large, well-shaped double flowers is a rather unusual and very pleasing shade of pink.
