Ji HARDY YELLOW HOSE. 
Golden Sun. 
SOLLIL D’0r, or 
A cross between “ Persian Yellow ” and 
“ Antoine Ducher .” It retains a good deal of 
the character of the former in the wood and 
bark, but the foliage is vastly improved, 
being large and very plentiful. The habit of 
the plant is robust, producing vigorous shoots 
in abundance, branches straight and of good 
size. The coloring of the flowers is very rich 
a marvelously rich shade of chrome-yellow' 
with a glint of coppery-rose in the center. 
The expanded flower is full, large and globular, 
the center petals being well incurved, forming 
a perfectly double bloom. The coloring in 
the fully expanded flower is gloriously superb, 
Tumeresq.ue in its blending of reddish-gold, 
orange-yellow, nasturtium-red and opaline- 
pink. Words are inadequate to fittingly de¬ 
scribe the almost riotous luxury of rich, 
warm color contained in each bud and open 
flower. A Hardy Yellow Rose, one that is 
really hardy in the north in this country, 
has been the goal for which the -world’s best 
hybridizers have been striving for years. 
This Rose is not grown on its own roots; all 
are budded on briar stock. (See cut.)
