A certain amount of French otto is also distilled from garden roses. 'Ulrich Brunner,' distilled with other garden blooms, give a fair quality oil or concrete, known as 'Roses de France.' Other varieties which frequently enter into the composition of 'Roses de France' concretes are 'Gruss an Teplitz,' 'Frau Karl Druschky,' Narbonnand, Van Houtte, Safrano, Paul Neyron, Madame Gabriel Luizet, Madame Caroline Testout, Baronne de Rothschild, Mrs. John Laing, Madame Maurice de Luze, François Juranville, Gerbe Rose and Gloire d'un Enfant d'Hiram.

Safrano (Beauregard, 1839): no rose-garden is a real rose-garden until Safrano is in it. It is a little old darling - close to a century old - whose lovely buds of saffron and apricot are just about the sweetest things imaginable. I have always wanted a small bed of Safranos edged with forget-me-nots, but in our unaccommodating climate the forget-me-nots stop blooming before Safrano begins, and that's a pity. Farther north, perhaps, or farther south they may be caught together. The plant is fairly hardy; I have several five years old; but even if it had to be replaced each spring, I should still have it. I am not sure just what there is about it I admire and like so much; perhaps it was my first really successful rose.
