TEA-ROSE— MADEMOISELLE ADRIENNE 

 CHRISTOPHLE. 



The additions made tlie last two or three years to our tea- 

 scented roses, bid fair to drive some of the older varieties out 

 of cultivation ; many of them were very delicate in habit, and 

 the flowers very flimsy and loose, whereas we are now getting 

 stout-petalled flowers of the same colours, and with good habit 

 of growth. We shall not care soon to have to humour such 

 varieties as Madame William or Elise Salivate, when we can get 

 such flowers as Madame MargoUin, or the very beautiful variety 

 figured in our plate, and so admirably rendered by our artist.

 blooming in our garden during the summer, and nothing could 

 be more beautiful than its flowers. Sometimes the centre was 

 of a beautiful salmony pink colour as figured, sometimes a rich 

 coppery rose, and at other times a soft peach, and now at the 

 end of September it is putting forth a fresh supply of shoots 

 and blossoms which will make the plant gay until the frost 

 overtakes it ; for this is one of the best qualities in these fra- 

 grant roses, that they are true perpetuals, many of those so-called 

 being only so in name. 



This beautiful rose was raised by our friend Mons. Guillot 

 fils, of Lyons, and adds another to the triumphs which he has 

 obtained as a raiser of new roses; leaving aside roses of an older
