A description according to Daffodils, narcissus, and how to grow them as a hardy plants for cut… 1907 by Arthur Martin Kirby, when known as ‘Auirantus Plenus’, “The common old double English garden daffodil known as ‘Butter and Eggs’, a name doubtless suggested by the coloring n the flowers which is of a light butter-yellow shading to orange at the center. A free-growing and free-flowering variety, which if left undisturbed eventually forms large clumps or masses. Faintly fragrant.”

Awarded AM Haarlem in 1913 under the name ‘Golden Rose’.
