Book (1846) Page(s) 32-33. I have now to notice a few varieties of this family entirely different to the foregoing, and lacking that fulness of petal, and perfection of shape,generally so much admired; these are desirable only for the extreme brilliancy of their glowing colours, which are really dazzling; they should always be planted in a group, as they do not mix well with the large and very double varieties. Brilliant, a new variety, Cerise superbe, Feu Brilliante, Rouge Eblouissante, (this is known also as Assemblage des Beautés,) Eblouissante de Laqueue and Vesta, the latter one of our oldest varieties, are the names of these vivid fiery scarlet roses; of these Cerise superbe and Rouge Eblouissante are the most double; the others are but little more than semi-double; they are all, however, desirable, and should by all means have a small bed allotted to them in the rose garden.
