(1900) Pernet-Ducher (French) tried to come up with a hardy yellow rose using a full-petalled form of R. foetida, called 'Persian Yellow'. 'Persian Yellow' was a hopeless parent. There was hardly any seed. But what there was, he sowed … Eventually this produced 'Soleil d'Or' … not pure yellow, but it heralded the lovelier 'Rayon d'Or', the first golden-yellow Hybrid Tea. Not only yellows, but also salmon, flame and apricot roses flowed from Pernet-Ducher's nursery, earning him the well-deserved soubriquet, the Wizard of Lyon.

We have analysed the roses of the foetida-group so thoroughly in order to determine their influence on 'Soleil d'Or', the arch-father of modern yellow garden roses. It was the product of a cross of the red hybrid perpetual 'Antoine Ducher' (Ducher, 1866) with 'Persian Yellow'. 'Soleil d'Or' contains...red anthocyanides and yellow carotenoids. Cyanine with some Chrysanthemine and traces of other anthocyanides were found. Among the very rich content of carotenoids (130 mg%) all stages are found with an emphasis on the epoxydes (61%). Thus the influence of R. foetida can be clearly seen.

Without 'Soleil D'Or' the world would not have seen any of the deep yellow, orange or flame-coloured roses that have done so much in recent years to delight the eye and uplift the heart.  Over twenty years ago there were no less than 513 varieties which were traced as direct descendants of this magnificent rose and today it is estimated that at least seventy-five per cent of all modern roses carry 'Soleil D'Or' in their ancestry.

L'étude du parfum des roses par Neville F. Miller, spécialiste dans ce domaine, est fort intéressante mais très compliquée pour celui dont le vocabulaire chimique est assez pauvre même dans sa langue maternelle, je vais donc faire mon mieux pour me tirer de cette tâche avec le minimum d'erreurs. (American Rose Annual 1963) ...L'auteur a étudié 170 variétés sous différentes conditions atmosphériques et constaté l'existence de plus de 25 parfums élémentaires et de beaucoup de combinaisons de ceux-ci. Les plus fréquents sont : capucine, iris, violette, pomme, orange, citron, girofle, géranium. Un tableau groupe les 34 parfums principaux et composés, les variétés correspondantes étant rangées en conséquence...

It is through the leaves that a rose accepts this disease, so where the true R.foetida characteristic of short profuse flowering followed by a long rest is inherent in a plant (the early roses: 'Soleil d'Or', 'Juliet', 'Hidcote Yellow', 'Le Rêve'), the fact that it may be furnished with equally characteristic non-resistant foliage is of minor consequence. For this is readily discarded, characteristically renewed, and a good recovery made.
