Can it be that we have not treated Rayon d'Or right in pruning? I am aware Jack Frost does this for us in some years, but there may be gardens, especially in the South, where they would escape, and, if so, I would recommend the let alone treatment.

 …Rayon d'Or (bright canary yellow)  ...belongs to the class with large thorns created by M. Pernet Ducher.
Rayon d'Or also must rely on its colour for its form is poor in all stages; the foliage is brilliant and glossy and the growth usually good, but it has a most abominable habit of dying back in winter and this detracts from its value as a garden Rose and makes it impossible as a bedder.

I think it was a Mr. Crozier who showed some fine Mrs. Foley Hobbs at Ulverston some years ago, and I was told they were cut from large bushes growing in an orchard. They had been liberally fed with chemical manures,

I have mentioned before in the "Annual" that I have a plant of Irish Elegance that is never pruned beyond removing some old wood occasionally. Some of the branches are as thick as my wrist, and the shrub is about 6-ft. high and as much through. The illustration, although not a good one, will give some idea of the size of this shrub, and when in full bloom this June it was a glorious picture, there being several hundred buds and blossoms at one time, and of good quality too.
I take care to dig in manure in autumn, and it receives liquid manure liberally in May.

Moderate growers - Then last, but not least, there is Irish Elegance. It is now blooming again at the end of October, and has reached a height of fully 8-ft. against the east wall of my house. The sight of its lovely buds in the mellow light of late autumn, is one that can hardly be described, and if this Rose will grow like this, quite un-pruned, what would such as Isobel, Red Letter Day, K. of K., and others do which are of even greater vigour?

p87.  H. R. Darlington. Decorative Roses
From the point of view of form two are singles, Irish Elegance and Irish Fireflame, both have beautifully formed long buds, and to be shown at their best should be picked at this stage, all fully opened flowers being removed, and the stems should then be placed in water and the flowers opened indoors. In colour the buds of Irish Elegance are a bright orange pink, while that of the open flower is a soft shade of pink on a slightly yellow ground. Irish Fireflame, on the other hand, is a decidedly harder colour, having more red in it. Irish Fireflame is perhaps more striking and brilliant in the showroom, but personally I do not find it of so pleasing a hue. Both plants are good growers but Irish Elegance is a good deal the stronger grower. The foliage is good in both cases, it is somewhat liable to mildew but not so seriously that it cannot readily be kept clean by the timely use of flowers of sulphur.

p110.  Mrs. H. R. Darlington.  Roses in Autumn
...all I would suggest is that for late autumn blooming, those kinds with few but solid petals, for example, the brilliant red Mrs. Edward Powell, the pale blush La Tosca, the bright pink Mrs. E. G. Hill and such single Roses as Irish Elegance, are specially suitable for weather which at that time of year is apt to be changeable and damp.

Talking of judging at the Lyons Exhibition, he [Mr. George Paul, V.M.H.] tells me he well remembers suggesting Captain Christy's name being attached to Lacharme's new Rose of the year.

Sidmouth itself, and some of the country in its vicinity, leave little to be desired from a Rosarian's point of view. It was near here Captain Christy - a name familiar to all Rose-lovers - had his garden.
