p181. S. McGredy & Son Ltd. advertisement. 'Wisbech Gold'. HT. Raised by Sam McGredy IV - named for our friend Bill Tysterman of Wisbech Plant Company. This rose is the most profuse of all yellow hybrid teas; it produces masses of shapely blooms on a compact plant. Its profusion however is surpassed by the dense gold yellow colour of the petals - these are edged bright red, giving a more wonderful colour effect. Certificate of Merit N.R.S.
