de Nanteuil; the petals are large and the flower very full; the 
foliage ample, and the flowers borne well above it. Like its 
parent it is at times somewhat difficult to open, although not 
to the extent that La Heine is, and in the row we saw at Vitry 
there was not one unexpanded bloom; despite this, we believe 
it will be found to be one of the best (if not the best) roses of 
the present season.
