delicious perfume. A free producer of large, full flowers on 
stout, erect stems. 
Lady Pirrfe—(H. Dickson, 1910.) (H. T.) Outside of petals 
deep, coppery, reddish-salmon; inside apricot-yellow, flushed 
fawn and copper; lovely in color and form. Vigorous, free- 
branching, flowering at the point of every shoot. Gold Medal 
N. It. S. 
La France—(Guillot, 18G7.) (H. T.) Silverv-rose, with pink 
shades and satin-like petals of unsurpassable beauty; large, 
symmetrical and deliciously fragrant blooms from June until 
frost; hard}' with protection. 
Lamarque—(Marechal, 1830.) (N.) A rampant climber; 
large clusters of full, very double and sweet, pure white flowers. 
A beautiful Rose for which there is a great demand. 
La Reine—(Laffay, 1839.) (H. P.) Clear, bright rose; 
beautiful in color and form; deservedly called “The Queen." 
La Rosiere—(See Prince C. de Rohan.) 
Laurent Carle—(Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) (H. T.) Brilliant 
velvety carmine, with long buds borne on long stems, opening 
into large flowers of perfect form and fullness. An extremely 
vigorous grower of erect branching habit, with splendid dark 
green foliage. 
Louise Welter or Baby Tausendschoen—(Welter, 1909.) (P.) 
Small cupped blooms of veined rose with feathered edges of 
soft clear pink. A lovely little novelty, each bush forming a 
symmetrical bouquet. 
Louis Philippe—(Guerin, 1S34.) (C.) Brilliant fiery red; 
one of the best bedders. 
Madame Abel Chatenay—(Pernet-Ducher, 1895.) (H. T.) A 
good grower and perpetual bloomer; large and beautiful in bud 
and bloom ; deep, recurved petals of rose-pink, with a tinge of 
salmon. Bright, pretty and popular. 
Madame Angelique Veysset—(See Striped La France.) 
Madame Caroline Testout or The Giant La France—(Pernet- 
Ducher, 1890.) (H. T.) Brilliant satiny-rose, deepening at 
center and bordered with silvery-rose; immense broad petals 
and extremely large flowers. 
Madame Charles Lutaud—(Pernet-Ducher, 1912.) (H. T.) 
Rich chrome-yellow, slightly blended with bright carthame- 
pink on edges of outer petals; bud long and pointed; flower 
large, full and cup-formed; vigorous, erect branching growth, 
almost thornless, with reddish-green bronzed foliage. Unnamed 
seedling X Marquis de Sinety, but very distinct from latter. 
Bagatelle prize 1913. 
Madame Charles Wood—(E. Verdier, 1861.) (H. P.) Bright, 
fiery red; a generously large Rose, very double, full and quite 
fragrant; handsome, show}-, and a constant bloomer throughout 
the season. 
Madame Constant Soupert—(Soupert & Notting, 1905.) (T.) 
Citron-yellow, shaded with rosy-peach ; plump, pointed buds of 
great size. The parentage, Maman Cochet and Marechal Nlel, 
a sufficient guarantee of royal blood. We have discarded 
Madame de Wattevillo to make place for this vastly superior 
Rose.

Madamo do Vatry or The Creole Beauty—(Guerin, 1855.)
