From The Rose Book, 1864. Yellow Noisettes, Shirley Hibberd.
Among the yellow noisettes there are a few which will thrive anywhere, and require very little care to ensure an abundant bloom, but these are not the kinds that the rosarian gets excited about. Anybody can grow Ophirie; if never pruned at all it will always grow neatly, and cover itself with flowers. So will 'Jaune Desprez'....

Angers was at that period a noted place for Roses because in addition to 'Aimee Vibert' and 'Lamarque' and several others, Ophirie and 'Solfaterre', both grown by my grandmother, came from Angers. 'Ophirie', introduced in 1841, is also a noisette, unique in colour, a sort of reddish copper, very vigorous, one of the advanced guard of weeping standards.

What has become of those lovely old Roses 'Celine Forestier', 'Lamarque', Ophirie or 'Jaune Desprez'. Perhaps in some old gardens they are still to be found.

Ophirie is such a free autumnal that I am thinking of planting it as a bush in shrubberies.

Walter Easlea. Autumn Flowering Climbing Roses.
A glorious old Rose is flowering quite freely as I write (October 24th), and that one is Ophirie (Noisette). It is running up an apple tree here, and its buff and salmon flowers are charming as much for their irregular shape as for their colouring.
