The FLORAL MAGAZINE By the REV. H. HONYWOOD DOMBRAIN,A. B. Volume VI 1867 Plate 351 Tea Rose Madame Margottin "When we were at Lyons last year, and enjoying a run through the celebrated Rose gardens of that city, we were very much struck with two tea-scented Roses in the possession of M. Guillot fils." etc.... "Madame Margottin is a genuine tea-scented rose; as will be seen from the Plate, a medium sized flower, of a delicate primrose-yellow colour, with a most lovely peach-coloured tint in the centre petals. The shape of the flower is good, and the substance of the petals is very firm, and, as a consequence, the individual flowers are not as fugitive as in some of the Teas."
