Austin writes about this breed:
“… This rose was not a random seedling. I have always been convinced that a cross between 'Graham Thomas' and 'Yellow Button' would result in a variety ... Unfortunately such a cross turned out to be very difficult, as 'Yellow Button' produces little pollen and no seeds. Only by collecting tiny amounts of pollen from hundreds of flowers did we get enough for our breeding. "
