[One of two roses that were the first to be introduced by Joseph Pemberton in 1913, Danaë and Moonlight] both shrubby, cluster flowering, and pale yellow to white, the latter being particularly beautiful in its clear, broad blooms. With delight their breeder recorded that flowers of 'Danaë', all cut from the open, and sufficient to furnish six vases, had been placed on the altar of his church on Christmas Day, 1913...

Rosemary James. The So-Called "Hybrid Musks".
I think it will be hard to beat any of the lovely plants raised by the Rev. J. Pemberton in the first quarter of this century. 'Danae' was, I think, his earliest introduction in 1913, and while it is not exactly a shower of gold, it is a cascade of delightful semi-double, soft yellow blooms, paling to cream, with golden stamens. At certain stages, this little rose resembles a camellia in shape, while the buds are a deeper yellow amid foliage of a delicate mid-green, and growth is on the small side making it one of the most useful.
