New Hardy Yellow Rose. 
Soleil d’ Or—( Golden Sun. ) 
A very promising new rose, the first of a new race of roses, originated by 
M. Pernet-Ducher and called Rosa Pernetiana. It is the result of a cross between 
the well-known Persian Yellow and the Hybrid Perpetual Antoine Ducher, and is 
characterized by M. Pernet as a perpetual flowering variety. We append the 
description of the originator: 
“This magnificent variety, like the Persian Yellow, is perfectly hardy. It 
retains a good deal of the character of the Persian Yellow, the bark of the wood 
being reddish, the thorns very fine, the foliage more ample, and the leaves, of a 
beautiful clear green, are closer together. Its growth is robust, very vigorous, 
making plants three feet in height. The flowers are large, full and globular, 
measuring 3% inches across, and fragrant; buds conical shaped; color superb, 
varying from gold and orange-yellow to reddish-gold, shaded with nasturtium red. 
The color stands the sun well.” This should be a very valuable rose. Price 
$1.00 each.
