This is from the patent:

"The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant, the result of a definite effort to produce an origination distinguishing from either of its parents while combining improvements over both in respect to certain features.

The new variety, illustrated in the different stages of development of the flowers, is a distinctive yellow rose, of light Cadmium color specifically speaking, possesses the important characteristic that the basic yellow of all stages is non-fading.

Structurally, the form of the flowers is irregular with split center when opening, and its petals are thick and satiny which, in the setting of abundant Dark Cress Green and shiny foliage and Garnet Brown new wood presents a very attractive showing which is retained throughout the entire summer.

The following is a detail description of the new variety, the color designations being in accord with Ridgway's Color Standard. Parentage: Seedling.

Seed parent.—Julien Potin.
Pollen parent.—Unknown seedling.

Classification: Botanic and commercial—hybrid tea."
