p178 Comtesse de Nadaillac,* bright rosy-flesh, base of petals coppery-yellow; distinct and beautiful; habit of plant not good. This rose is figured in a coloured plate in another part of this book.
p186-7 Comtesse de Nadaillac...may perhaps hold the premier place for beauty of form and richness of colour. ...It is not possible to describe its manifold shades of apricot, rose, lilac and salmon, all blended in a charming manner, and passing from the denser shades to paler, as the petals slowly unfold. The blooms are full, the petals graceful in outline, and when cut the flowers last longer than any other. The plant is vigorous, and fairly floriferous, but has rather an awkward tangling habit in its growth.
