From 1913 series of Wills's cigarette cards (No 90) Text on reverse of card: COMTESSE DU CAYLA. (China.) A most persistent bloomer, splendid for massing or for making a low hedge, and almost unrivalled for decorative purposes. The buds are long and pointed, and are beautiful in their various shades of orange and carmine. Requires very little pruning except to remove dead wood and to keep the plant shapely. Introduced in 1903.
