CREAM OF THE ROSE CATALOGUES. 



it at this season, and as late as the middle of November, a sheet of dazzling bloom. Very- 

 beautiful and good. 



12. George Cuvier. — Rosy crimson, fine shape, expands its blooms freely, a moderate 

 grower. Distinct and superb. 



13. Grand Capitaine. — Velvety, fiery scarlet, very brilliant; opens its flowers well 

 both in summer and autumn ; not very double ; dwarf habit, well adapted for a small bed, 

 where the intense brilliancy of its flowers will show to advantage. One of the most dis- 

 tinct of Roses. 



14. Pierre de St. Cyr. — Glossy rose, fine largo flower, expands well and blooms pro- 

 fusely; a most robust grower. Will form a splendid clump to contrast with any of the 

 strong growing Hybrid Perpetuals. A superb Rose. 



15. Qusc7i. — Fawn-color shaded with salmon, very sweet scented. One of the first and 

 last in bloom, while invariably expanding its flowers well, which appear in profusion. 

 Rather dwarf habit, but will form a lovely small clump. Distinct and beautiful. 



16. Soucket. — Purplish carmine, large flower and a good dark variety; indeed, one of 

 the best of this class for the purpose; moderate grower, expanding its blooms with free- 

 dom. Superb. 



17. Souvenir de la Malmaison. — White with fawn center, very large and magnificent, 

 flowering freely through the summer and autumn, strong grower. This will make a gor- 

 geous clump, in contrast with such Roses as Baronne Prevost, La Reine, &c. 



CHINA ROSES. 



18. Archduke Charles. — Light rose changing to brilliant crimson, a profuse bloomer, 

 moderate grower. One of the best changeable Roses. Unique. 



13. Clara Sylvain. — Pure M'hite, a superb flower, blooming freely from June till the 

 end of October; moderate grower, suited for a small bed, and the best white for the pui'- 

 pose. Beautiful. 



20. Eugene Beauharnais. — Beautiful bright lake, a free bloomer through the summer 

 and autumn. One of the hardiest Roses in this class, as well as one of the best dark va- 

 rieties, free grower, splendid in a small clump. A charming variety. 



21. 3frs. Bosanquet. — Creamy white; I have heard amateurs call this " the Wax Rose," 

 from its loveliness; a profuse bloomer from June to November, moderate grower. This 

 Rose appears intermediate between the Chinese and what are called Bourbons. Will form 

 a small clump. If possible, more unique and beautiful than any other variety. A truly 

 splendid Rose. 



TEA-SCENTED KOSES. 



22. j^dam. — Rosy blush, verj' large and magnificent, with beautiful camellia-lilce pe- 

 tals, blooms freely, moderate grower, rather tender, and needs slight protection in win- 

 ter. Suitable for a small mass. Very fine. 



23. Comte de Paris. — Creamy blush, a large fine flower, blooming abundantly, growth 

 moderate. A very desirable variety, forming, in a bed, a lovely mass. Superb and very 

 distinct. 



24. Devoniensis. — Creamy white, buff center. Shall I say the most beautiful of Ro- 

 ses.^ It hns now become so well known as scarcely to need description. Fragrant as well 

 as beautiful. A clump of this is one of the loveliest objects in a flower garden. 



25. Eliza Sauvage. — Cream with deep orange center, profuse bloomer, and the best 

 yellow for a small bed. Dwarf, delicate habit, requiring, and well deserving a little pro 



in winter. An extremely lovely flower. 

 Safrano. — Deep fawn, very lovely in the bud, a free flowerer, and a modera
