"YELLOW HOSES, AND ROSES OF YELLOW TENDENCY." 



SlNOE you kindly published my last Rose article, 1 have received letters 

 about Roses, and especially about yellow Roses. Though I cannot 

 speak authoritatively abouttbem,yet a few words derived from experience, 

 observation, reading, and common sense, may not altogether be unac- 

 ceptable at a time when the song is everywhere heard — 

 " She meets you with a smile at morn ; 

 She lulls you to repose ; 

 The flower for peer and peasant born — 

 The everlasting Rjse ! " 



I deeply regret that we have so few yellow Roses, or Roses of 

 yellow tendency, fit for show purposes, or general out-door cultivation. 

 We sadly want a hardy II. P. yellow. I have no hopes of Englishmen ; 

 but 1 still have hopes that French rai?ers, with their more genial 

 climate and greater enterprise, will use Harrisoni for such a purpose. 

 It is hardy, a true yellow, and opens freely. Whether it could be used 

 to originate a Perpetual, I am not learned enough to know. The Cloth 

 of Gold, Lanarque, and Solfaterre, are not strictly yellow Roses, but of 

 yellow tendency. Others are canary, or pale, or dirty cream. 

 Sulphurea BUperba, Isabella Cray, the Persian, and Harrisoni, are, I 

 believe, the best true yellows. Except Harrisoni and the Persian, I 

 fear, these require to be grown under glass, or with great and careful 

 protection. Certain it is, that yellow Roses, as a class, require age, 

 good rich drained soil, room to grow where and how they like, little 

 knife, and winter, spring, and in some cases, summer protection, before 

 they will succeed. Much has been said about Sulphurea not opening ;
