Context:
Mildred is out in the yard playing, and mother is picking the delicious strawberries. Father and Uncle Frank are down town. Simpson is coming home soon. Mildred and I had our pictures taken while we were in Huntsville. I will send you one.
The roses have been beautiful. Mother has
a great many fine roses. The La France and the Lamarque are the most fragrant; but the Marechal Neil, Solfaterre, Jacqueminot, Nipheots, Etoile de Lyon, Papa Gontier, Gabrielle Drevet and the Perle des Jardines are all lovely roses.

What is your question exactly? You have shown a list of rose varieties. Not many people will "know" them, except for flower experts.
By the way, "Perle des Jardines" is mis-spelled; it's Perle des Jardins". Possibly this was in the original text?
