"Yallum Park Yellow" rose Reviews & Comments

I suppose those familiar with "Yellum Park Yellow" are confident it is not 'Gloire de Dijon'? I ask because the growth habit and color seem similar to the GdD I used to grow.

I don't think it gets as deep a yellow/orange colour.

"Yallum Park Yellow" seems to strike very quickly. I put in 2 cuttings 15 days ago, and one is already starting to show roots at the bottom of the bag. The other cutting is currently looking good, but is not showing roots yet.
Incidentally, at the same time I also put in 3 cuttings of "Yallum Park Cream". These aren't showing roots yet but are looking very robust. I wouldn't be surprised if they show roots soon too. Has anyone considered that these two big Noisette-ish roses may be closely related ones from the same breeder?

What medium did you use, Give me caffeine?

It's mostly Searles propagating mix, with some perlite added. From memory I threw in one 5 litre bag of perlite for every two 10 litre bags of the Searles mix, so around 20% perlite by volume.
The cuttings had their business ends dipped in Clonex purple goo. The bags were also watered with dilute Seasol. I'm not sure if that helped, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Note that some of the other cultivars are not looking nearly so bouncy, although most are still alive, so I'm not sure the mix I used is some magic remedy. I think it more likely that YPY is exceptionally easy to strike.

Thank you, Give me caffeine. It's helpful to know how other people strike things.

The stems of these ended up rotting below the surface. Declared kaput 16/3.
Not sure why these went. Other cultivars from the same batch of cuttings, sitting in the same mix, are still doing well.

The YPY cuttings were pretty small, reflecting the size of my plant. Maybe not enough stored oomph, aka carbohydrate.

Could be.
Edit: Y.P. Cream is still doing well.

I feel the main page for "Yallum Park Yellow" should be updated a little. Any directions please?
Some contenders from F.C. Davis 1862 catalogue might be:
Mme. Bravy
Mme. Maurin
Narcisse (Tea-scented China)
Princesse Adelaide
Vicomtesse de Cazes

'Cornelia Cook' AKA 'Cornelia Koch' also got to Australia, and was a seedling of Devoniensis. She apparently often balled as well, and is sometimes listed as a Noisette.
It seems to have had very few thorns for a Tea Rose, so if "Yallum Park Yellow" is very prickly, this is probably not it.
