TEA-ROSE— MADEMOISELLE MARIE 

 SISLEY. 



The warm sunny climate of Lyons seems most favourable for 

 the production of Tea-scented roses ; and from the number 

 already sent out, and others announced, it would seem that 

 some of the Lyons raisers are turning their attention to the 

 production of new varieties in this most beautiful and favourite 

 class. 



The rose we now figure is one of the most distinct of this 

 class that has been raised for many years. The ground-colour 

 is a most delicate primrose-yellow, and each petal is edged with 

 bright pink, a combination of colour rarely seen, and, as we can 

 testify from our own observation (as we have had it growing 

 in our garden), most charming. The habit of the plant is 

 vigorous, and, like the rest of its race, very free-flowering, con- 

 tinuing in bloom up to very late in the season. It was i-aised 

 by Mons. Guillot fils, the successful raiser of Mademoiselle 

 Adrieiine Christophle, figured in our October number. 



"We have already received the accounts of the new roses, and 

 find that Tea-Eoses, and their allies the Noisettes, are largely 

 represented, there being thirteen Tea-Eoses, and two Noisettes. 

 Of these, eight are sent into commerce by Mons. Ducher, and 

 three by Mons. Guillot. Those raised by the former are Madame 

 Ducher and Tour Bertrand — both seedlings from Gloire de Dijon — 

 Jeanne d' Arc — of the same race as Paciole — Chamois, Le Mont
