    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "The mass planting of this rose at Blue Bell Creameries tourist center, here in Brenham, is beautiful. Because of this show, we are inundated with requests for this rose. The small, bright yellow flowers are semi double and fade to white with age. The compact bush has very healthy foliage and we know of no disease problem. This rose is well suited for container growing, bordering, or hedging."
