Dr. A. S. Thomas. Yellow Roses.
Paul's Lemon Pillar is almost a climbing counterpart of Sir Henry Segrave, one of the most reliable of all show roses. This climber blooms only in the spring, unfortunately. Sir Henry Segrave is a very healthy grower and blooms freely. One is too apt to think of it as a specimen bloom; almost every bunch of roses that I cut from my garden includes at least two or three of these light yellows.

Sir Henry Segrave. This wonderful new Rose can hardly be said to be white—possibly ivory, tinted lemon would describe the colors—at any rate we class it as the best light colored Rose that has come to our notice in recent years. The buds and flowers are superb in form and substance and the bush is above the average in performance. The always perfect buds rate high in cutting value.
