- It was in the Pasadena Rose Parade that the Bayer Advanced float was a tribute to King Arthur’s Camelot with two knights of the Round Table jousting on a bed of more than 10,000 live roses, including the colorful cream-with-cherry-blushed-burgundy-petaled variety Dick Clark. It made its world debut in the parade and won the 2011 All-America Rose Grandiflora Selection. --- www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2015/01/26/add-award-winning-dick-clark-and-julia-child-roses-to-your-garden” -- retrieved 2/13/2021.
