J. R. Ramsbottom. Single Hybrid Tea Roses And Their Decorative Value.
....the variety 'Queen Alexandra' - introduced recently by the Rev. J. H. Pemberton - which is excellent for pillars, and is a perpetual flowerer. The blooms are perfectly single, reminding one of a glorified Dog-Rose; the colour is pale citron-yellow flushed with pink when young, and fading with age to white. The same raiser has also given us 'Danae', soft yellow; 'Moonlight', lemon white; Callisto pale yellow; and 'Clytemnestra', salmon yellow; all semi-double flowers borne in large clusters and suitable for small pillars.

Opinions of the Press.
The  Gardeners'  Chronicle  says: Rose Callisto.  A  very free-flowering  H.T. variety.  The   small, soft yellow, very fragrant  blooms are borne in clusters on stout stems which have  prominent red spines.    This variety  has a general   resemblance  to Clarissa  though   the flowers   have usually more petals and  the colour is more  pronounced.   The foliage is dark green and glossy."—September 2nd,  1916. 

The  Garden   observes: Rose Callisto.  A  new  seedling perpetual-flowering cluster Rose of  much  beauty   and  charm,  and one of  a type which the  Rev. J.  H. Pemberton  has made    very  much his  own  during recent years.  The new-corner is of  soft canary and primrose yellow tone, the abundance  of the flowers rendering it most welcome."—September   9th, 1916.
