China Roses
W. L. Carter
Lesmesle belongs to a China type of which there are recorded other varieties whose colour changes were even more startling. Examples of these include Laffay's Courtesan, a pure white changing to fiery red; Prevost's Camellia, pale rose passing to cerise; and Louis Noisette's Bengale à grandes feuilles, whose double blooms opened a delicate rose, changed to carmine, and ended bright purple.
