Etoile de Lyon (T.).-Such a beautiful yellow rose! One of my best ; but then others find it difficult to grow. You must disbud it very hard. It has lovely brown foliage, and in dry weather is most satisfactory. But sometimes it will not open its buds. I should call it an obstinate rose.

Twelve Good Yellow Tea Roses.
Yellow in Tea Roses seems to be the popular colour, in addition to which the plants are, as a rule, of stronger constitution than those bearing mixed coloured flowers. More yellow than mixed coloured Teas by far appear in florists' windows, and in going through any large market grower's establishment one cannot but be struck with the predominance of yellow varieties. I am not depreciating the many beautiful forms other than yellow; I admire them as much as anyone; but for the guidance of those who, as producers, are obliged to study fashion in flowers, I give a list of varieties which will be found to give satisfaction either for growing in pots or for planting out in borders in ordinary Rose houses.
Etoile de Lyon is a most useful Rose, being of fairly free growth, and yielding its sulphur-coloured flowers, which are bright yellow in the centre, in profusion.
