New Roses 1924 Gwyneth (Hybrid Polyantha ) (Easlea ) This beautiful novelty will fill a long felt want among the yellow shades of this increasingly popular group. The buds are deep canary yellow, lined crimson on outside. They are of exquisite form and most freely produced, the stems carrying from 25 to 40 buds. The half open flowers are semi-double of clear sunflower yellow, tinted lemon and display a wealth of golden stamens, changing to nearly white as flowers expand. The foliage is dark green of a leathery texture and glistening. It is also quite mildew proof. Growth is vigorous; more of the type of ‘Orleans' Rose’. It will be an ideal bedder flowering as it does from October to June. Raised bv the well-known Amateur, Mr. Richard Woosnam from two of his hybridised seedlings.
Fades when open. Nearly single.
