Lyon Rose - No 41 from 1912 Wills's Cigarette Rose Cards (set of 50 cards). Text on reverse: LYON ROSE. (Hybrid Tea). Introduced in 1907, this variety, although classed with the Hybrid Teas, is really a Hybrid Briar, and is a distinct and beautiful addition to the section. The colour is really a variable shrimp pink, with coral red centre shaded with chrome yellow—a combination of colouring impossible to reproduce. A good exhibition or garden rose, very fragrant, and fairly hardy.
