American Florist 30: 18 (Feb. 1, 1908)
W. N. Rudd, secretary of the Society of American Florists, informs us that Paul Niehoff of Lehighton, Pa., desires to change the name of his pink rose, registered as Aurora, to Lovely, as he learns there is a European variety in existence bearing the former name.

The 1907 reference (Bullettino della R. Società Toscana di Orticultura 1907, Pag 44) reports that this Aurora is of american origin.
