The Yellow Rose of Texas 
(Plant Pat. 1241) 
We are proud to be the introducers 
of this early-flowering hybrid tea 
rose. It resulted from a cross of two 
widely disseminated and popular 
yellow varieties, Soeur Therese and 
Golden Dawn. The bushy, compact 
plant continues to bloom abundantly 
through summer heat. Long-pointed 
buds, usually one to a stem, open to 
3% to 4-inch, solid lemon-yellow 
flowers. Retains its rich color very 
well because the petals have such 
good substance. Fragrance, rare in 
yellow roses, is admirably strong and 
spicy. The picture shows the double 
petalage and furled bud. It is a 
moderately tall bush rose, thickly 
branched and slightly spreading. 
Blooms freely and continu- 
ously all through the season. 
Queen of the Texas State 
Fair Rose Show, it 
was honored in 
: new fashions by 
a Sakowitz, of Hous- 
? ton. Truly the Yel- 
low Rose of Texas.
