STAR OF PERSIA. Rev. J. H. Pemberton, 1919. Moderately vigorous climber, generally classed as a hybrid of Rosa foetida. It bears large, single or semi-double, bright yellow flowers which do not fade white. The foliage is very bad, and it sometimes fails to bloom at all. Not a great deal unlike Le Reve but perhaps the flowers are a trifle smaller and a shade brighter. Very hardy.

Hardy Climbing Roses
Star of Persia. Fœtida Hybrid. (J. H. Pemberton, 1919.) Semi-double, bright yellow flowers about 3 inches across, borne in big, loose sprays. Growth vigorous (about 8 to 10 feet), with dark, characteristic foliage. No disease has been seen upon it.
Very early. A very splendid novelty, tending to be a hardy yellow climber. The color does not fade and the flower-trusses last several weeks. A pillar of it is a marvelously beautiful shower of brilliant yellow bloom in its season. See illustration in color opposite page 49.

Some sample comments from the 1928 Proof of the Pudding entry for 'Star of Persia':

Black-spots; blooms only once; fine color; good growth.--H.R.F., Mass.

Although I have had my plant two full seasons and it has grown many 10-foot canes, making an enormous bush, I have not seen a bloom yet. Foliage beautiful in early summer, but by September 1 the canes are practically bare from black-spot. If no bloom next summer, out it comes.---R.M.H., R. I.

More a high bush than a climber. Color is very beautiful and is retained better than any other yellow rose I know. Greatly admired; should be a very popular low climber or large bush. No winter-kill.---O.D.D., N.Y.

Did not bloom though it had six canes 2 to 4 feet long on which I expected bloom. Tips killed back 6 to 8 inches. It had the full exposure to the sun all day on south side of porch. Growth to date five new canes 5 to 7 feet long.---L.E.L., N.Y.

Winter-kills so does not bloom much.---I.P., Ont.

A week of joy; a sorry source of infection the rest of the season. Belongs in the dooryard of the pest-house.---J.H.N., Pa.

Of poor growing quality.---F.D.O., N. J.

Wonderful lasting yellow. Bush unattractive because of poor, early-falling foliage and straggling, irregular growth.---W. C., Md.

Good. Very early and free. In spring wonderful buttercup-yellow, rounded blooms in huge clusters; lasts well for three weeks. Subject to black-spot; not a strong grower. better as a pillar rose.---A.P.W., Washington, D. C.
. . . . . .

Has not proved up to my expectation. Flowers not very good in color or size; plant one of the very first to succumb to black-spot.---O.G., Kans.

Very vigorous; good foliage. Keenly disappointed in the color which is only a washed-out yellow, not a bit like the attractive color plates seen in the catalogues.---C.C.D., Calif
