Gardening Illustrated and Rural and Suburban Home 30: 239 (June 20, 1908)

We shall, probably, hear a deal about this Rose when it becomes distributed, because it is of a sulphur-yellow colour, with deep ochre yellow centre, a shade we are particularly deficient of. It possesses a good, erect habit of growth, the buds being well shaped and full, and it is a very hardy sort. This is rather remarkable, seeing that Marechal Niel was the pollen parent; but this latter has, unquestionably, imparted the delicious fragrance for which it is noted, so that in Paula we have not only a good colour, but also a variety of exquisite perfume. The seed parent of Paula was G. Nabonnand, and where could one select a better Rose to breed from? Would that we had more of this tribe, for it remains one of our best garden roses. It has given us a splendid sport named Peace.
