"Rugosa Roses"
by H. R. Darlington, Hon. Secretary N. R. S.
Daniel Lessueur (Cochet, 1908). This is another strong grower, with full double flowers of large size and often well shaped, of a nankeen yellow colour, the buds shaded coppery pink, a new colour in this group. It forms berries freely, but most of them remain green; only a few turn red. From the habit of growth one would imagine it related to the Dijon Teas, but it is said to have been derived from the cross Pierre Notting x Safrano x rugosa. I find it best to peg this Rose down. It is too straggling to make a good bush.

Hybrid Rugosa Roses.
The new yellow hybrid Rugosa Daniel Lesueur mentioned by White Rose, and which he judges to be very nearly related to the Dijon Teas, was put into commerce in 1909, and I can only find it mentioned in one British catalogue; this also is one of Dr. Muller's hybrids. I was only able to procure plants of this Rose last autumn, and I am very anxious to see it in flower, but I cannot agree with your correspondent as to its being related to the Dijon Teas. Certainly nothing in the appearance of the wood and habit of growth suggests this contention, and a consideration of the parentage dispels any doubt on the point. A seedling from Pierre Notting and Safrano crossed with R. rugosa Germanica gave Daniel Lesueur, and there is surely no trace of Dijon Tea in that cross. If this new yellow Rose is anything like its progenitors, what a noble trio we shall possess with Conrad F. Meyer, Nova Zembla, and Daniel Lesueur.

A beautiful Hybrid, Rosa rugosa.—If the new Rose, Daniel Lesueur, did not emanate from an authority on Rugosa Roses, one would doubt its parentage. It does not resemble the Rugosa Rose excepting in its vigour, but is more like a Noisette or Hybrid Tea semi-climber. That it will be a valuable addition there can be no doubt, for it yields very large cup-shaped flowers, with fine long buds of a nankeen yellow colour, tinted with salmon, turning to pale yellow when fully open, with base of petals canary yellow. There is a delicate fragrance also. It reminds me of a Madame Ravary flower when fully open, but larger. I believe it will be a valuable addition to our pillar Roses, for it is in this way I am growing it, and it appears, from what I can see of it, to be perpetually flowering. It was raised by Mons. Cochet-Cochet, Seine et Marne, and sent out in 1908.—Rosa.

Rare Varieties of Rosa Rugosa.
M. Cochet-Cochet has produced perhaps the nearest approach to a yellow rugosa in one named Daniel Lesueur. It is described as "large flowers, cup-formed, long buds, colour nankeen yellow, tinted with salmon, turning to pale yellow when fully open; base of petals canary yellow." This is a very attractive description, but as I have not seen it flower yet I cannot say whether it is a correct one. I have the Rose under observation, and hope to report later on concerning it.
