Ardoisée
de Lyon,
by Damaizin, France 1858.
This is thought to be a sport of 'Baronne Prévost'. The plant is in
every was identical to 'Baronne Prévost', but with a deeper, more
purple coloring to the blossom. Opens reddish-crimson and fades to
a slatey-vioet hue. Some repeat of bloom, depending on climate, (H.P.'s
tend not to rebloom in hot regions) and an excellent, rich "old
Rose" fragrance.
