 EOSE, illSS INGTIAM. 



We have again the pleasure of figuring a Rose of genuine 

 English origin, and one, too, which we are very much inclined 

 to think will prove as great an acquisition as that now famous 

 Rose John Hopper, raised by Mr. '\\'ard, of Ipswich, and more 

 especially as it belongs to a class in which we have been defi-

 raiser, than any of his former productions. It was first exhi-

 where it received a first-class certificate ; and wherever it has 

 been shown since, it has received a similar award. It was very 

 greatly admired by all who saw it at this show, and also at tlie 

 Royal Horticultural Society and Crystal Palace Exhibitions, 

 and has boon pronounced by some of our most celebrated 

 rosarians as a Rose of first-rate qualities.

 test it has stood ; for while nearly all the light Roses were 

 killed in the neighbourhood of Slough during the last winter, 

 Miss Inqram was quite uninjured. This is a most important 

 point in its favour, while, as will be seen from the admirable 

 figure of Mr. Andrews, it possesses an aduiirablc contour, as
