THE LYON ROSE.
The above is the name given by Mr. J. Pernet-I)uclier to a new Bose raised by him and being put into commerce this season. He also calls it Rosa perm* tiana, which is rather going against the rules of botany in giving what is, to all intents and purposes, a botanical name for a garden hybrid. The Rose, however, is a remarkable combination of colours. The raiser obtained it by crossing Mme. Melanie Suupert with a seedling from Soleil d’Or. The blooms are of tin* largest size, very full, cup-sha]M»d, with the edges ot the outer petals rolled back. It is described as being a coral red or lake-red. shaded or suffused with chrome yellow. In the bud state the colour i« coral-red, with a chrome-yellow ground. If the bloom conies up to this character in colour it will have a warm reception, besides being a novelty amongst its kind in the wav of colour. Ihe stems are red and the leaves of good substance. It has the appearance of a Hybrid lea in many respects.
