The flowers of this superb Rose have somewhat the build of a Souvenir d'Elise Vardon, but, unlike that beautiful variety, Sylph is endowed with a splendid constitution equal to any Tea Rose in existence. It is marvelous to see the strong growths crowned with grand trusses of flowers of ivory white tinted with peach and creamy pink. It has fine deep stiff petals, and is excellent both as a show flower as well as for garden decoration. Paul, William The Rose Garden, Supp. at p. 16 (1898)
