1935 April AIS Bulletin Pg. 67. "To take the yellows in the order of their yellowness, we must begin with the richest and finest yellow yet shown in any iris I have ever sighted, Hans Sass' intermediate, Golden Bow. I had not believed that a more brilliant yellow was possible or likely in an iris than that of Crysoro but Golden Bow is richer and more glowing and with a remarkable heavy, velvety substance. A slight undertone of brown was detected by some observers which they believed gave it its richness of color. This is a stunning bit of color."

Gentius, Cosette and Golden Bow made a beautiful early group,

David Ferguson in the Species e-mail group, on 8/3/2017 noted: "As a further aside, 'Golden Bow' is very like I. x albicans (has anyone noticed this?), but it is yellow. Is there any more detailed record of the parentage than what shows in the AIS registry?. I have hoped that more detailed records are recorded somewhere by the Sass family for their crosses? If species were used to create 'Golden Bow', it ?might? shed some light on the original parentage of I. x albicans. As a group, I. x albicans, 'Madonna', 'Kochii', and 'Golden Bow' stand out from everything else I've ever grown. Plus, they look good planted together (at least the three I have do)."
