Magazine (7 May 1898) Page(s) 383. Rose Sylph - This Rose has quickly taken a foremost position among the true Tea-scented section, and not the least point in its favour is its absolute immunity from mildew. The flowers, which seem to come midway between those of Ernest Metz and Souv. d'Elise Vardon in colour, form and substance, are thrown up well above the foliage on good erect stems. Unlike most Teas, it will form a handsome specimen without the aid of sticks. It is a first-rate Rose, suitable alike for exhibition, for cutting, or for bouquets and button hole work.
