Rose Joseph Bernacchi. — A plant growing in bush form and pruned long has been lovely this year. The fine trusses are thrown well up above the foliage and the pale sulphur-yellow blooms are very distinct among climbing kinds. The flowers are moderately full and the petals of great depth. Although it is classed as a Noisette, I consider it as much a Tea Rose as Belle Lyonnaise. It would make a grand standard, for its growth is good, but not so rambling as in the Dijon tribe. It was sent out by Mme. Ducher in 1879. Many a Rose has come and gone that was not half so good as this one, and it should certainly find a place in every collection.
