Phillip Robinson. The Rumsey Memorial Lecture. (Pernetianas). A perhaps more substantial improvement was Golden Emblem (McGredy 1916, parentage not given). This one I have known personally although considered extinct by others. It was growing in a planting at the local Junior College in Santa Rosa, California. This planting had been moved to the location it occupied from other scattered spots on campus in the 1940s. Most of these roses had been replaced over the years, but the current gardener has found a rough map as originally planted. It was not too difficult to select the original plants remaining and identify them. Among them were several very rare roses, but this was the most exciting. So many roses from this period have disappeared completely and none more so than the early Pernetiana yellows. ‘Golden Emblem’ is an upright bushy plant with rather glossy foliage and clear yellow nicely formed flowers. There is a definite resemblance to the younger and better known ‘Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont’, Mallerin 1929.

p82.  Golden Emblem.  Raised by Sam McGredy, straight from the Pernet-Ducher line, namely 'Madame Melanie Soupert' x 'Constance', The latter being one of Joseph Pernet-Ducher's own seedlings from 'Rayon d'Or'. This brilliant yellow came on a stubby, thorny plant, with some of 'Rayon d'Or's die-back trouble. It's flowers were lustrous, so beautiful that the plant had to be grown. It was introduced in 1917.

p83.  Now that I have unintentionally linked McGredy and Easlea, I remember a strange remark the latter made when writing of McCredy's 'Golden Emblem' to the effect that if the raiser could produce it on a really good plant, and with one or two more improvements, 'he may be sure of lasting fame, if that is any good to him'.
