Dr. A. S. Thomas.  Yellow Roses. 
Golden Ophelia and Roselandia are not very distinct. Their deep yellow petals fade to white at the edges but this does not detract from the beauty of the medium-sized flowers. They are popular varieties in the cut-flower trade.

'Golden Ophelia'. Medium sized, shapely blooms of golden yellow shading lighter at the edges, freely borne by long, strong stems, and on this account valued by commercial cut flower growers. The growth is vigorous and branching and ideal for bedding purposes.

Good yellows:  Souv. de Denier Van der Gon (something like Golden Ophelia)

p83.  S. B. Watkins.  The Fragrance of the Rose. 
However, among the lighter coloured Hybrid Tea Roses there are many of outstanding fragrance, though Antoine Rivoire, one of the best progenitors in this colour class, is only slightly perfumed, and likewise Golden Ophelia.

Mr. Frank Penn, Auckland, NZ.  Ophelia and Her Sports
Golden Ophelia (Cant, 1918) is supposed to be an Ophelia sport, but, if so, it is perhaps the only one that has not the very sweet fragrance of its parent. Golden Ophelia is tea-scented. It is a nice yellow Rose, but occasionally fails to open well, another characteristic that s quite different to practically all the Ophelia group.
