Comtesse de Caraman (Godard, 1893) is a Tea Rose of undoubted immunity from mildew. It has the proper type of foliage, spines and stems to resist this disease. Its flowers are of an attractive shade of red, and are very pleasing. It is a pretty little rose and I like to see it every season, but, apart from sentimental considerations, it has a significance of its own.

There are many older Tea Roses of a similar character, but I choose Comtesse de Caraman to illustrate my meaning. Has it ever—bearing in mind its resistant nature—been used as a parent with an equally well considered mate? Not, as far as I am aware, by those continental raisers who do divulge the parents of their seedlings, and, of course, our leading British raisers keep their pedigrees to themselves.
