DUCHESS OF NORFOLK ROSE. 



This Rose is a remarkable instance of the gradual improvement of 

 some Hybrid Perpetual Roses. It was raised from seed by M. Mar- 

 gottin some eight or ten or twelve years since, and presented, with one 

 or two other seedling Roses to his customers, Mr. Rivers and Messrs. 

 Wood. The former, knowing very well the usual value of the seedlings 

 given to their clients by the French florists, neglected his plants, and 

 ultimately lost them. Messrs. Wood cultivated those in their possession 

 carefully, and were rewarded by one of them proving worthy of being 

 named the Duchess of Norfolk, which, although scarcely more than a 

 mediocre Rose when first sent out, has improved annually, and was last 

 season among the most beautiful of Roses. R.
