W. C. Thorn. Rose Sports. ….’Ophelia’ has given us many choice sports, and its sports have given us other famous Roses, so that through ‘Ophelia’ we have ‘Madame Butterfly, ‘Lady Sylvia’, ‘Rapture’, Lady Violet Astor’ and ‘Westfield Star’, all being subtle changes of colour from palest flesh to deep flesh pink, with varying degrees of gold shading, except in the last instance, ‘Westfield Star’ which is definitely of a yellow colour. In each case the form of flower and habit of growth have been retained.

B. W. Price. ‘Ophelia’ and its sports may be taken as a model of what a standard should be. They are almost always in bloom, and not as some, bearing two distinct crops with a bloomless interval between. To the small grower some of the sports are scarcely distinct enough for inclusion in a small collection. I recommend ‘Mme. Butterfly’ or ‘Rapture’, Westfield Star’ and ‘Amber’.
