A rosarian in HMF remarked that Pernetiana prefers alkaline soil .. so I dug up some info. and post here. click on the link, it will show nice pics. of Pernetiana besides Condesa de Sastago.
I wonder if my Pat Austin has that gene, shatters quickly, intense orange color, fruity scent, glossy & dark-green foliage, and like alkaline soil.
Khalid: how are the leaves on your Condesa de Sastago? thanks for any info.

"The Pernetiana roses were named for Joseph Pernet-Ducher, a French rosarian, who began experimenting with various crosses in the late 19th century in the hope of creating a reblooming yellow rose. The yellow roses available at that time bloomed only once a year, and whereas the blooms of some tea roses and some of the early hybrid teas did display hints of yellow, it was a pale yellow, and Pernet-Ducher’s goal was a deep golden shade of yellow.
Crossing a seedling of Antoine Ducher, a reblooming hybrid perpetual, with a species rose commonly known as “Persian Yellow” produced Pernet-Ducher’s first commercial success, Soleil d’Or, in 1900. This first Pernetiana rose, which is even called “the first modern rose” in some circles, was a wonderful combination of golden-yellow and orange. It rebloomed reliably, and best of all, it had inherited the sweet fruity fragrance of the hybrid perpetual instead of the fetid odor of the species rose."
