Trees and Shrubs
A division of the Camden Park catalogues that is not clearly defined. In broad terms it includes all plants with woody stems except conifers and fruit trees and shrubs.
Rosa ‘La Felicité’
‘La Felicité’ was described by Gore as a Damask rose. ‘La Felicité has middle-sized flowers, semi-double, white, spotted and variegated with red. [Gore].
Rosa ‘La Pactole’
Usually classified by contemporary authors as a Tea rose, but today often classified as a Noisette. ‘La Pactole’ has cream flowers with yellow centres, large, full and cupped, of moderate growth. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Gard. Chron. 1842, 1846].
Rosa ‘La Tourterelle’
A Hybrid China rose. It was described as a Hybrid Bengal rose by Gore under the name ‘Parny’, its flowers middle-sized, regular, full, of a light uniform lilac. Paul described its flowers as rose and dove-coloured, shaded with slate, cupped, large and full, on a vigorous shrub with a branching habit. [Paul (1848)]. Thomas Rivers, writing in the Floricultural Cabinet, described ‘La Tourterelle’ in similar terms. [FC p.241/1835].
Rosa ‘Lady Alice Peel’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Lady Alice Peel’ is a dwarf growing rose with deep pink flowers, often delicately veined with carmine. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Gard. Chron. 1852].
Rosa ‘Lamarque’
Noisette rose. ‘Lamarque’ has very large, full, cupped white flowers with deep straw centres, produced on a vigorous, almost thornless shrub. [Gore, Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), FC p.230/1857, Amat].
Rosa ‘Lane’
Hybrid Perpetual. Paul describes the flowers as rich purplish rose, sometimes vivid, large and full with an expanded form, occasionally fine, on a moderate, erect shrub. [Paul (1848, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Latour d’Auvergne’
Gallica rose. It was described in the Floricultural Cabinet in 1857 as a gallica rose with rich carmine flowers, sometimes inclined to purple, with a brilliant centre, large and fine. [Rivers (1857, 1863), Paul (1863), FC p.227/1857].
Rosa ‘Leopold d’Orléans’
Paul considers it to be identical to ‘Adelaide d’Orléans’ but Gore lists it separately, with pure white flowers. Its flowers are white-shaded rose in colour. As I have found no other reference to this rose it may well be ‘Leopoldine d’Orléans’, also called ‘Adelaide d’Orléans’, a very popular climbing rose of the day, classified by Gore and others as a Sempervirens rose. She describes it as a vigorous shrub, with numerous, middle-sized, double, pale pink or flesh-coloured flowers.
Rosa ‘Liesis’
Noisette rose. Its flowers are pale yellow with deeper centres, large and full, form cupped, very hardy and, according to William Paul, writing in The Gardeners’ Chronicle, useful for a weeper, wall or greenhouse. He considered it one of the best roses. Rivers described it as a bright yellow Noisette Rose quite worthy of culture. [Paul (1863, 1888), Rivers (1863), Gard. Chron. p.461/1863].
Rosa ‘Lion des Combats’
Hybrid Perpetual. The flowers of ‘Lion des Combats’ are reddish-violet in colour, sometimes shaded crimson-scarlet, velvety, large and full in form. It is a robust grower. Thomas Rivers considered the flowers to be not finely shaped. [Paul (1863, 1888), FC p.228/1857, Gard. Chron. (1856, 1857), Rivers 1854].
Rosa ‘Lord Palmerston’
Classified by Paul as a Bourbon Perpetual. ‘Lord Palmerston’ has medium-sized, cherry red flowers, cupped in shape on a moderate-sized shrub. Paul describes it as a very sweet and distinct, free-flowering rose. He reports that it was illustrated in the Rose Annual of 1858-9. [Paul (1863, 1888), FS p.100 vol.15/1864)].
Rosa ‘Lord Raglan’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Lord Raglan’ has large and full, velvety, scarlet-crimson flowers, edged with violet-crimson. A vigorous grower, its flowers were described as somewhat small, but brilliant and so free that it has 6 or 8 flowers on a truss. [Paul (1863, 1888), Rivers (1857, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Louis Philippe’
Categorised as a Tea-scented China rose by some authors, although included by Paul among the Crimson China roses in the early editions of The Rose Garden, and in Les Plus Belles Roses au début du XXe Siécle. It has very large flowers, full and globular in form, with dark crimson petals and almost white edges. [Paul (1848, 1888, 1903), FC p.243 and p.248/1835, FC p.271/1836, FC p.233/1848, Amat].
Rosa ‘Louise Odier’
Classified as a Hybrid Bourbon or Bourbon Perpetual by Paul and a Bourbon by Rivers. ‘Louise Odier’ is a hardy rose with very double, almost camellia-like, bright rosy-peach coloured flowers, borne in clusters. A good pot rose and recommended as a late-flowering rose. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Gard. Chron. 1858, Amat].
Rosa ‘Louise Peyronny’
Hybrid Perpetual. Silvery-rose, satin-like petals, shaded with lilac, globular, large and full in form. A robust grower. [Paul (1863, 1888), Henry Curtis p.19 vol.2/1853, FC p.61/1855].
