96 THE BOOK OF ROSES 



La France. This Rose hardly needs description. It is 

 one of the loveliest of Roses, its perfume alone well 

 distinguishing it from its sisters. It is a beautifully 

 shaped Rose, in colour pale peach pink, the centre 

 being slightly darker and rosier. This Rose does 

 well near towns. 



Lady Ashdovun. This is a pale pink Rose, with the bases 

 of the petals shading to yellow. 



Mme. Abel Chatenay. This is a pale rosy salmon-coloured 

 flower, shaded to a darker rose at the bases of the 

 petals, and tinged with a pale scarlet rose. A good 

 town Rose. 



Mme. Jules Grolez. A good Rose, with a fine satiny 

 texture of petal, in colour like the pink china Roses, 

 and well shaped. It flowers very freely, is very 

 vigorous in habit, and does well near towns. 



Mme. Melanle Soupert. A yellow Rose, slightly salmon 

 tinted, and shaded in places with carmine pink. 

 The blooms are very large, well shaped and 

 double. 



Mme. Ravary. The buds of this Rose are bright 

 yellow, the flowers when open being nankeen 

 yellow, and very striking. This is a good decorative 

 Rose, and a strong grower. 



Pharisaer. A rosy white flower, shaded with rosy 

 salmon, with long well-shaped buds, excellent for 

 cutting. It does well near towns, and is very 

 vigorous in habit. 



Prince de Eulgarie. Silvery flesh colour, shaded with 

 salmon and pale rose, and deepening in colour in 

 the centre. A distinguished Rose. 



Richmond. This is a good scarlet red Rose, rather like 

 Liberty. A vigorous grower. 



Viscountess Folkestone. Creamy pink, the centre shaded 

 with salmon pink, very sweetly scented, and with 

 well-shaped flowers. This does well near towns.
