BOURBON ROSE, MAD EMOISELLE MARIE 



LARPIN. 



We have already figured one of the now Roses, La France, 

 raised and sent out last autumn by M. Guillot,^?fe, of Lyons, 

 and we now figure a very beautiful Bourbon Hose of the same 

 successful raiser, which for symmetry of form cannot be sur- 

 passed ; and although from their being scentless the Bourbons 

 are not generally favourites, yet their free-blooming qualities 

 ought to make them so. 



The dryness of the past season has been verj unfavourable to 

 the Rose, and the quality of the flowers has suffered very much 

 in consequence, while it has been very difficult to form a cor- 

 rect estimate of the new varieties ; we venture, however, to 

 express our belief that the following will be found to be among 

 the best: — Baronne Adolphe de Rothschild, a light delicate rose- 

 colour, a very tine flower, if it come full enough; Tdsette de 

 Biranger, a pretty flower, of the Aimee Vibert character, very 

 light blush, sometimes bordered with deep rose ; Madame Marie 

 Cirodde, bright fresh rose-colour; Merveille d'Anjoil, a deep 

 purplish-red rose, much of the colour of Pierre Wotting; /." 

 France, already figured and described in the 'Floral Magazine.' 

 Besides these, there have been shown Beine de Portugal (Tea.), 

 a very beautiful colour, somewhat in the style of the old Hose 

 Ophirie, but we rather fear that it will not open well out-of- 

 doors ; nor must we omit Miss Ingram, winch lias been distri- 

 buted by Mr. Turner, and promises to keep up the character of 

 Knglish raised Roses. 



Mademoiselle Marie Larpin is evidently of the race of Louist 

 Odier, partaking of the exquisite shape of that well-known
