p. 45: Mother of Yellow Origins: R. lutea Persian Yellow × R. lutescens “First blossomed in 1899, has dark foliage shaped like Persian Yellow. Growth is strong, upright and tall. Thorns and their arrangement resemble R. lutescens. Bloom is very abundant. Fragrant, not double, of bright deep yellow colour, darker than that of Persian Yellow. Fruits are bright red, bulb shaped, each contains from 5 to 15 perfectly round seeds, diff ering in good germination, and fi nally, what is most important, this rose accepts pollination from almost all the known (by me) species of roses. Next, a new variety is not subject to disease, like powdery mildew and rust... Also, the roots of new roses, as I noted, did not suff er from fungus Asteroma.
