The 1913 Biltmore Catalog says, "A canary-yellow Rose, as blithe as the bird from which its hues are taken--a sort of light-hearted Rose that is especially adapted for wearing in buttonholes. The fragrance is delicate and pleasant. Flowers freely with good-sized blossoms, very beautiful in the bud. Sometimes called the "Yellow La France" on account of the shape of the flowers and petals greatly resembling that variety in all respects save the color. This variety is the equal of all the yellow Roses, and by many growers is considered a superior sort because of the beauty of the buds and flowers and the profusion of bloom."

The Wills' Cigarettes card of Mme. Pernet Ducher illustrates a loosely semi-double flower with bright yellow petals with pointed buds, reddish stems and glossy leaves. The whole effect is not unlike Golden Showers.
