Levet, 1875. Raised from Gloire 

 de Dijon. Pale yellow, some- 

 what fragrant, the most free 

 flowering of all the seedlings 

 from Gloire de Dijon; the flower 

 stems are long and stout, the 

 foliage large and lustrous. 

 A magnificent yellow rose. 



Besson, 1881. Raised from 

 Baroness RothscJiild. Dtcp 

 rose color. 



Guillot fils, 1872. Belongs to 

 the Victor Vej-dier type. Sal- 

 mon-pink : a very beautiful 

 sort when perfect, but most of 

 the flowers are malformed, or 

 open badly. 



Gonod, 1871. Rosy-blush. 



Fontaine, 1865. Vermilion-red 

 shaded with crimson, large or 

 very large, very full, of splen- 

 did globular form, very fra- 

 grant ; it h:is more vermilion 

 tiian Alfred Colonib, making it 

 somewhat lighter and more 

 dull ; the shoots are armed 

 with numerous red thorns, the 

 foliage shows considerable 

 lustre. There is no finer ex- 

 hibition sort among the red 

 roses, and were it as constant, 

 it would be quite as valuable 

 as Alfred Colomb and Marie 

 Bawnann, varieties which bear 

 it considerable resemblance. 



Beiuze, i860. White, pointed 

 buds, somewhat in the style of 

 hHphetos, but not equal in 

 quality to that fine sort.
