Oriole (Hybrid Tea)
This Rose is a "Top Notcher" in every way.  A "sport", the original plant being raised by an amateur- the parent plant being destroyed before we came into possession of the rose- and thus we are unable to state the parentage.  Style of growth similar to Kaiserin; upright, clean, with unusually good foliage for Hybrid Tea stock and with us always free from spot or disease.  Foliage and wood rather light green in color; wood fairly smooth; a persistent and constant bearer of the very finest grade of bloom which never seems to come ill-shaped or to blight; buds long, deep, pointed, retaining their shape unusually well; when matured, opening freely; medium full; petals of splendid substance and beautiful satiny texture.  Color, golden yellow, clean and clear with no fawn or muddiness at any time; a lustrous, live color not common in yellow roses.
