Yellow Radiance? White Radiance?
Pretty soon the popularity of Radiance started two things: hybridization to get other colors, and hopes for sports. The sport occurrence is not rare, and a White Radiance was soon reported from Miami, which investigation proved to be a fake. Then came a Texas report, and White Radiances from all over, the last and worst of them having been run down within a few months as nothing more or less than a Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria renamed, despite its total difference of habit, shape, and general character.

The rose-swindler will keep busy with Radiance, but it may be assumed that until the American Rose Society's Registration Committee has accepted any rose as a White Radiance, or a Yellow Radiance, "there ain't no such animile." This is said with much confidence and assertion, because registrations which have been offered by sincere, honest members of the Society, first for Yellow Radiance and then for White Radiance, were withdrawn when it was found that the parentage was not as claimed.
