SOUVENIR DE CLAUDIUS PERNET. H. T. 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1920.) 
A most vigorous grower of erect branching habit, beau¬ 
tiful, brilliant green foliage, long pointed buds of exquis¬ 
ite shape, carried on long stiff stems. Very large, full 
flowers with elongated deep petals, a beautiful formed 
bloom. Color, striking sunflower yellow, deeper in the 
center. This is one of the first clear yellow Roses with 
vigorous growth suitable for average garden use. Does 
best in dry warm weather. 
TALISMAN. H. T. (Montgomery Co., 1929.) 
The Rose of many Gold Medals. It is the most re¬ 
markable piece of coloring that we know in any Rose; 
a combination of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and 
deep pink or old rose. The outside of the petals are 
bright yellow, gold and pink; as the flower develops and 
the petals unfold they become bright apricot, gold, deep 
rose-pink or old-rose. The bud is long, perfectly form¬ 
ed, averaging about 28 petals, the plant is a strong, 
vigorous grower with glossy, green foliage and free flow¬ 
ering. 
VILLE DE PARIS. H. T. (Pernet-Ducher, 1926.) 
Round buds of clear yellow and big globular flowers 
of the same hue, untouched by any other color. Plant 
is notably tall and wiry, and the foliage dark, small, 
and very leathery. In form the bloom is much the 
shape of Radiance.
