In developing garden roses from Sempervirens the greatest work was done by Jacques, gardener to Louis Philippe, at Neuilly. jacques named a pale rose-colored Sempervirens for Adélaide d'Orléans; for Princess Luise, a creamy white; for Princess Marie, a clear pink. The one not named for someone in the royal house, but for his two daughters, - one rose and two daughters, it is said, - is Félicité et Perpétue, 1828, and it is the one surviving in old gardens.
Fölicité et Perpétue grows on atrellis with The Garland at Creek Side, where they make a lavish picture in May and June, soft white, fragrant, and humming with bees. The deep green leaflets, five in number, are very glossy and tough, oval with a quick point, so varnished that the dried leaf in our notebook still has some shine on its surface. Ist climbing, branching, smooth green stalks, with sharp down-slanting red thorne, carry, in great freedom, clusters of deep creamy white flowers, full, expanded, and fragrant. The rose wants tying but pruning is resented. Félicité et Perpétue has been immensely and justly popular for a hundred years. We wish it another hundred.

For our gardens is the Evergreen Rose unfortunately not hardy enough, but the Breeder has also been able to use it with success. It and the arvensis are said to be involved in the origination of the Ayrshire-Roses (R. arvensis var. capreolata). A beautiful climbing rose with sempervirens blood is for example the old Félicié et Perpétue.
