 strong grower. Hybrid perpetual. See Annals for 1890, 43.

— La France de '89. Various dealers. 



(Reine Marie Henriette X La France.) Pronounced by several 

 noted French rosarians as the most remarkable hybrid tea of late 

 years. One notable peculiarity of the variety is its long, elegant 

 buds, which are often 2^ inches in length. Another strong point is 

 its bright color, which is very nearly scarlet. It is a rapid and strong 

 grower, but is not perpetual in character of bloom. 1890-1. 



— Laurent Carle. Various dealers. 



Flowers delicate, tender and rich ; sweet.
