Lady Emily Peel (Hybrid Noisette/Bourbon) [Blanche Lafitte x Sapho].
The Garden September 16, 1907
One would not think that with the many varieties available old kinds such as the above would still be sought after. But so it is. Lacharme was a good judge of Roses, and he would not have sent out this variety, even forty years ago, had he not been convinced of its value. Lady Emily Peel is a vigorous grower, as are most of the Hybrid Noisettes, and it blossoms well in the autumn. the flowers are of a fair size, white faintly shaded rose-pink. We should like to see the whole of the Noisette Perpetuals retained in our collections. What can be more lovely than Mme. Auguste Perrin, Mme. Fanny de Forest, Mme. Alfred de Rougemont, Mme. Blanche Durrschmidt and such-like during autumn?
