Among the vivid yellows of a slightly lighter colour than these two [Wheatcroft's Gold and Ellinor Le Grice] we find Mme. Pierre S. du Pont — older with very attractive foliage but many flowers have divided centres - the climbing sport is probably our best yellow climbing rose.

Mme. P. S. du Pont also has shiny and abundant foliage as a background to the bright golden blooms. These are freely produced on a vigorous healthy plant and the variety thrives in all climates.

Quant au meilleur des rosiers à fleur jaune doré, n'est-il pas toujours « Madame Pierre S. Du Pont », une de ces obtentions, celle-ci est de 1929, qui font date dans l'histoire des Roses ? Les fleurs ne sont ni énormes, ni très pleines, mais elles sont gracieuses, d'un beau jaune lumineux et intense, qui persiste, assez bien, et le rosier vigoureux au feuillage suffisamment touffu, d'un beau vert, les prodigue avec une rare générosité.

General List. Mme. Pierre S. du Pont (HT. Mallerin 1929) F. 3. Rich yellow, semi-double blooms with a shading of ochre, very freely produced on vigorous, healthy growth, with glossy foliage. The flowers are large, fruit scented, and keep their colour very well. This variety is a perfect bedding type and should be planted in masses for best effect. Highly recommended. E.
