XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 321 



Lamarque (Marechal, 1830). — A Noisette which 

 was highly prized fifty years ago, when varieties 

 were few. Of strong climbing growth on a south 

 wall, with bright small shiny foliage, not thoroughly 

 evergreen. It produces with great freedom in the 

 season large open flat blooms not fit for show, but 

 the second crop on a wall is scant. Very sweet 

 scented, the fragrance being distinct and said to be 

 like Violets. Not hardy against severe frost, but 

 tolerably safe on a south wall. Said to be the 

 parent of Cloth of Gold and grandmother of 

 Marechal Niel. 



Leontine Gervais (Barbier, 1906). — Salmon rose 

 tinted yellow, a pretty variety, early to mid-season 

 flowering, a promising new Wichuraiana. 



Letichtstern (Schmidt, 1899). — A good pillar or 

 bush Rose, free flowering, colour-bright rose, with a 

 prominent white eye, single flowers in clusters. 



Lina Schmidt-Michel (Lambert, 1905). — Soft 

 bright pink semi-double flowers, makes a fine dwarf 

 pillar. 



Madame Alfred Garriere (Schwartz, 1879). — A 

 Noisette of very fine growth. The flowers are large 

 and showy, sweet-scented, and practically white. 

 It is very free-blooming and perpetual, and may be 

 depended on to cover a large space and make a good 

 show. The best white climber for all purposes. 



Madame Berard (Levet, 1870). — Of Gloire de 

 Dijon race, one of the best in shape and colour, very 

 pretty at times, but not as hardy as the type. 



Marechal Niel (Pradel, 1864).— This is without 

 doubt the finest yellow Eose in existence, no real 

 rival to it having ever been issued. It is a Noisette, 

 said to be a seedling from Cloth of Gold, and
