Notes:
Charles Hain, President of the society "Les Amis des Roses", Saint-Savine (Aube), France
Arena Rose Co. says Amelia Earhart has huge buds that open creamy yellow flushed with pink at the center...
Different opinions on pollen parent. The addition of 'Paul Neyron' is probably a misunderstanding. The original description says "as large as Paul Neyron".
