Rosa le Grand Eveque. Archbishop, a semi-double garden rose, dark brown and shimmering lila. The brown colouring on the dark lilac petals stands out magnificently from the yellow stamens, and forms an impressive magnificent rose. The rose is as large as a Band-Rose [?], but more double, each petal 1 inch long and one inch wide, on the reverse shading lovely from the brown into violet and dark red, passing to white, has perfect large, ordinary Garden Rose petals [Gallica], with 5 and 3 leaflets. Bloomed in June at Falke in Nürnberg, and was 4 feet tall, grafted on a wild understock.
