Roses. Present-day gardening series by H. R. Darlington FRS. Dated 1911 from the preface. Chapter on Exhibition Tea Roses.

"Comtesse de Nadaillac (T., 1871). - At its best this is one of the finest exhibition roses. The colour is coppery apricot, but the shade varies to a great degree; it sometimes comes in buff-yellow, and will give all intermediate shades. As a maiden, especially on a standard, this Rose makes vigorous growth, with large leathery foliage, but never again, for as a cut-back the growth is poor. It is very free flowering, but the small flowers are of little value. It is tender and not an easy rose to grow well; still it may be recommended as indispensably for exhibition."
