Vellow 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 de¬ 
scription 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 Vz inches across, and fragrant; buds coni¬ 
cal shaped ; color superb, varying from gold and orange-yellow 
to reddish-gold, shaded with nasturtium red. The color stands 
the sun wen.” This should be a very valuable rose. 
Price, $2 00 Each.
