Gardeners' Chronicle. 43: 408 (June 20, 1908)
Rosa lutea.-In June, 1906, Mr. AW Sutton, FLS, shown before the Committee dried specimens of a yellow Rose who had been named at Kew Rosa Eglanteria (= R. lutea) from Baalbec. Mr. Sutton also obtained through a lady missionary at Baalbec some pods and shoots of this Rose, but they were dead when they arrived. Later, however, he received other seeds, from which three plants had been reared, and which were now flowering in his garden. He exhibited a flower of a beautiful clear yellow color, measuring 3 inches in diameter. A full account of the history of this plant, which Colonel PRAIN thought when he saw the dried specimens from Baalbec to be identical with the Indian Rose Eglanteria, is given in the Gardeners' Chronicle, July, 1906.
