In 1867 in Lyon, Jean Baptiste Guillot created "la France", the first tea hybrid. One hundred years ago, in Vénissieux, Joseph Pernet Ducher obtains "Soleil d’Or", the first yellow modern rose. At this time Lyon was a centre of creation of worldwide reputation roses. With such a past, Lyon couldn’t do anything but offering to its inhabitants and to the Tête d’Or Park visitors 3 rose gardens.
