Dr. Brownell and his wife developed roses capable of withstanding severe New England winters. Although this variety is scarce in the United States, this vigorous yellow-variegated rose remains popular in Europe. Elegance produces large, fragrant flowers on long stems suitable for cutting. Blooms open bright yellow, then quickly fade to lemon with creamy edges. The reverse of the petals is darker, creating noticeable contrast as the flower opens. Foliage is large, dark, and glossy. Young growth is crimson. Fast-growing new shoots bear large, numerous thorns. It flowers profusely at the start of the season, followed later by individual blooms. Very vigorous; when trained on a tree it can quickly reach 10 m.

Buds are long and pointed. Flowers are yellow; at opening, petal edges turn white; form is goblet-shaped, high-centered, large (10–11 cm), double (40–50 petals), fragrant, in small inflorescences. Leaves are large, dark green, glossy, and healthy. Spines are frequent, large, reddish. Shrubs reach up to 2 m, with strong, whiplike shoots. Bloom is moderate, with occasional remontancy. Winter-resistant. Suitable for vertical landscaping. Int. GBS in 1977
