Time was when the only yellow Roses exhibited (Cloth-of-Gold was in existence, but lived in strict seclusion) were Solfaterre, with very little yellow and still less shape; Persian Yellow, in hue golden, glorious, but in size a big buttercup; and sometimes a bud of Smith's Yellow, which no power on earth could induce to open, a pretty button-hole flower. Now we have Celine Forestier, Triomphe de Rennes, Reine de Portugal, and magnificent Marechal Niel! Fancy Smith's Yellow in a modern collection- Tom Thumb on parade with the Guards!
