Book (2016) Page(s) 225. Includes photo(s). Professor C. S. Sargent ....... The flowers on the plant by this name at Sangerhausen are double, small to medium-sized, coral pink (petals darker on the reverse) fading to pink with lighter centres. They are carried in small clusters. The flowers are described in older sources as apricot or buff yellow with golden centres fading to cream. The colours (and the rose) may be wrong, but they certainly are appealing. This is a vigorous climber.

Magazine (23 Dec 1911) Page(s) 908. Includes photo(s). A Valuable Climbing Rose. Prof. C. S. Sargent is practically a hardy yellow Climbing Tea rose. It is a strong and lusty grower, bronze-green foliage larger than the Ramblers. The new growths are blood-red and very decorative. We have a specimen planted six years ago, having a spread of twenty-five feet and ten feet in height. All the growth is made on the bush from the main stalk which is now two inches in diameter near the ground. The color is very persistent, being a strong orange yellow, lasting until the petals fall. The flowers are very full, being crowded with petals. It blooms about June 15th, which is two weeks earlier than the true Ramblers, thus making the season that much longer. It is an American seedling- a cross between the hardy Wichuraiana X Souv. de Aug. Metral, a red French Tea rose. A. J. Fish. New Bedford, Mass.
