Would someone who grows this rose please post photos of leaves/prickles/hips, and/or compare it with the photos of "Bishop's Lodge Precious Porcelain"? Thanks.

Margaret - I have added more references for 'Cecil'. The 1934 reference is of interest.
I have found nothing about 'Cecil' fading, as does "Precious Porcelain" apparently.
Does "Precious Porcelain" seem a pernetiana to you? The prickly pedicels might indicate that it is, but you might need to look closely at the leaves. I have a Roses of Yesterday and Today 1971 photo and the leaves seem to be roundish, but there is not much of them to see.

The one "live" photo on the Cecil page doesn't fit the "golden yellow" description - maybe it does fade. BL Precious Porcelain doesn't have the length of stem described for Cecil, and you'd think the references would have commented on the striking length of the nearly-open bud if it were the same. But I note the comment about the paucity of single yellow roses.
