Pemberton - which is excellent for pillars, and is a perpetual flowerer. The blooms are perfectly single, reminding one of a glorified Dog-Rose; the colour is pale citron-yellow flushed with pink when young, and fading with age to white. The same raiser has also given us 'Danae', soft yellow; 'Moonlight', lemon white; Callisto pale yellow; and 'Clytemnestra', salmon yellow; all semi-double flowers borne in large clusters and suitable for small pillars.

Opinions of the Press. The Gardeners' Chronicle says: Rose Callisto. A very free-flowering H.T. variety. The small, soft yellow, very fragrant blooms are borne in clusters on stout stems which have prominent red spines. This variety has a general resemblance to Clarissa though the flowers have usually more petals and the colour is more pronounced. The foliage is dark green and glossy."—September 2nd, 1916.
The Garden observes: Rose Callisto. A new seedling perpetual-flowering cluster Rose of much beauty and charm, and one of a type which the Rev. J. H. Pemberton has made very much his own during recent years. The new-corner is of soft canary and primrose yellow tone, the abundance of the flowers rendering it most welcome."—September 9th, 1916.
