«Soyeuse de Lyon » (Lyon Silky) is the very suggestive name given to the rose that was created especially for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the « Parc de la Tête d'Or » in Lyon. This rose, which was selected during a contest held among rose-growers, will join the 350 varieties already present in the Park. Now see if you can spot the latest rose in these huge rose gardens, which were begun initially with a selection of rosebushes donated by Joséphine de Beauharnais.
