THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 170 



du Luxejnbourrj . These striped varieties are very pretty v^heu they 

 come true, but being themselves merely sports, they are apt to 

 return to their types; a very striking instance of this is given in an 

 old rose, Madame Campbell, from La Reine ; both flowers may 

 frequently be seen side by side on the same bush. Cambaceres also 

 has given birth to a sport, Belle du Printemps, which, unfortunatelv, 

 seldom comes true. Anne A.lexieff, and more than one other kind 

 besides, have a constant tendency to exhibit abnormal flakes and 

 stripes ; and I once saw a prodigious bloom of Clemens Joigneaux, 

 with large flakes of white resembling a camellia ; could that sporc 

 have been secured, it would have been one of the most curious and 

 interesting flowers ever seen. 



Madame Margottin (Guillot fils), is a pale, yellow Tea, fuller 

 than new teas usually are, and will prove most likely an acquisition ; 

 it may be noted that fewer new roses of merit are produced in this 

 section than in any other. Laftay has also a new rose in tliis class, 

 Monsieur Turtado. Anything from Laflay, to whom rosarians are 

 indebted mainly for the popular and beautiful Hybrid Perpetuals, 

 deserves a liberal trial. From the description I should imagine it 

 to have considerable affinity with certain of the IS'oisettes. 



Mr. A\^ard, of Ipswich, of " John Hopper" celebrity, has two 

 new roses : Mrs. JVcwd, from " Jules" and Chabrilland, with the 

 shape of the latter and colour of the former (what a superb com- 

 bination !) ; and 3Irs. Johi Berners, which ought, if truly described, 

 to attain a first-rate position ; also a pillar rose, Ijosivich Gem. 



The roses of that distinguished authority, Mr. AVilliam Paul 

 (who has done so much for the flower), may all be safely included 

 in any collection. The more recent. Dr. Lindley, Globosa, Lady 

 Sufiield, and Coeur de Lion, appear equal in merit to the celebrated 

 Beauty of Waltbam, one of the finest of modern varieties. Tl:e 

 foliage, in particular, of Dr. Lindley is magnificent ; Globosa is 

 incurved almost like a ball ; Coeur de Lion was finely shown at the 

 International. 



It is unfortunate that the splendid Golden Marechal TsTiel has 

 not proved itself sufficiently hardy to withstand such a winter as 

 this last, without protection. This must be accepted as the general 

 verdict, whatever may be asserted as to isolated cases. This rose 

 will be scarce. Nurserymen, from its great demand, generally 

 cleared out their stocks at an early period, a fortunate circumstance 

 for them ; unlucky purchasers will have generally lost their plants, 

 and will require a fresh supply, for which we shall be chiefly 

 dependent upon Prance. 



Of last season's roses, which have undergone a certain amount of 

 trial, and with respect to hardiness of constitution no slight one, the 

 following thirteen may be considered the most eligible : — 



Alfred Colomh. — As already stated, one of the finest varieties we 

 have among the high colours. 



Charles lioiullard. — Pale rose, globular, somewhat after Louise 

 Peyronny ; very strong, and rather upright in growth. 



Comte Alj^honsc de Serenye. — A "Jules Margottin " sort of 

 variety.
