The Parentage of Roses.
The following list of the world's Roses and their parentage has been compiled by Mr. Robert Daniel, 38 Russell Road. Fishponds, Bristol, and by his kind permission we are enabled to publish it...
Le Soleil... D.T., Dubreuil, 1891 Gloire de Dijon race

NB: no explanation is given for the abbreviation D.T., but it probably stands for "Dijon Tea" as it is used for other descendants of 'Gloire de Dijon'

"Forgotten Roses."
It is not surprising that owing to the numerous new Roses many of the excellent older sorts have been crowded out. Beautiful as the Hybrid Teas unquestionably are, I think it will be a bad day for lovers of the Rose if they allow this group to drive out of cultivation many old and well-tried varieties of other classes that are too good to suffer extinction. I often wish there were a National Rose Garden, where every variety could be planted, so that rosarians could see for themselves the true value of each. How some of our much-praised Roses would have to give place to those less known but better, at least in the matter of "doing well" and in point of colour.
I append a list of a few varieties that are comparatively unknown, yet I can recommend every one with the full assurance that they would please the majority of the readers of The Garden. Among what are regarded as climbing Roses not one of the Rambler race can surpass.
Le Soleil is quite good enough for exhibition, and as a yellow Rose is first-rate. The texture of the petals is remarkable. I prefer this to the tender climbing kinds, such as Henriette de Beauveau, even though the colour be not so intense.

Rose Le Soleil.—This appears to be a seedling from Belle Lyonnaise; it is, however, a totally distinct variety, the flower having a more refined appearance. The petal is thick, and it reminds one of a pale coloured Marechal Niel. The colour is a beautiful rich lemon-yellow shading to pale yellow, and there is a faint tinge of carmine on some of the petals. It is not so vigorous in growth as Belle Lyonnaise, but would make a good medium climber and a first-rate standard.
