Mr. E. H. Woodall, Nice, France. [written c1922]
I regret not to be able to recommend the good old Marechal Niel or the still lovely Chromatelle without a word of apology for their uncertain behavour. Will some good man give us a Reve d'Or that shall be worthy of its name? How welcome it would be!

M. Amaury écrivit, comme il fut dit, un livre : Le Dictionnaire des Roses, entre 1902 et 1908. J'ai en mains ce précieux manuscrit, grâce à l'amabilité de son auteur. L'éminent rosiériste y fait des observations utiles au sujet de l'adaptation des diverses variétés à notre climat, cadrant avec les qualités les plus populaires dans notre pays. Il cite les noms brésiliens des variétés exotiques, comme : Guanabara (Souvenir de la Malmaison), Petropolis (Chromatella), Bella Helena (Comtesse de Labarthe), Téla de Ouro (Maréchal Niel).
