Silvia Saunders. (Saunders, 1921.) 8.7.
Semi-double type; not large; extra early. Cup-shaped, bright clear rose-pink, fading lighter toward the center, which is filled with yellow stamens among which the very bright pink stigmas make a conspicuous pattern; odor not very good. Dwarf; good grower; very abundant bloomer.
Not of much value as a show bloom, but the plant is extremely effective in the garden.

Arthur R. Goodman, auch eine Pernetiana, hat dagegen aufrechten Wuchs und auch eine herrliche Blumenfarbe, doch sind die Blumen wieder nicht so schön wie die der Lyon-Rose. Als Gruppenrose wird sie aber sicher eine Zukunft haben. Das Urteil über sie ist allgemein günstig; bei mir hat sie sehr gut geblüht.

Die besten Rosenneuheiten der letzten Jahre. [...] Als zweite ist die grossartige Farbenrose Chateau de Clos-Vougeot (Abbildung II, Seite 53) zu nennen. Entgegen den Behauptungen vieler Fachleute glauben wir fest, dass sie eine sehr wertvolle Schnittrose ist. Die äussere Erscheinung ist gut, die Farbe der Blume prächtig und die Haltbarkeit wirklich ideal. Im vergangnen heissen Sommer konnte man an ihr keine Spur davon entdecken, dass sie verbrennt.
