    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "Very delicate in appearance, Mrs. Oakley Fisher has large single, orange yellow flowers with prominent stamens and a nice Tea scent. It makes a particularly sturdy bush for a Hybrid Tea, though, and is a nice compact size that will fit easily into any garden, or even a container."
