40 THE HYBRID BOUBBON ROSE. 



Raising Varieties from Seed. 



I shall now proceed to give a list of those 

 roses froEQ which, in combination with others, 

 choice seedlings may be raised. 



Fulgens should be crossed with the Bourbon 

 rose, Grloire de Eosomene, or with the China rose 

 Fabvier, and General Jacqueminot with the same 

 kinds, or any semi-double rose that gives abun- 

 dance of pollen. Large and double roses may thus 

 be produced, with a tendency to bloom in autumn. 



This rose should be planted in a very warm 

 border, or trained against a south wall with 

 Bourbon Gloire de Rogomene ; and if carefully 

 fertilised with it, some beautiful crimson autumnal 

 roses would probably be originated. Chenedole 

 may also be subjected to the same treatment. 

 What a fine autumnal rose one like it would be ! 



THE HYBRID BOURBON ROSE. 



(rosa bourboniana hybrid a.) 



Rosier Hybride de Ulle Bourbon. 



This magnificent race of roses (and indeed the 

 phrase is not misplaced) owes its origin to the 

 Bourbon Rose, itself a hybrid,* thus showing the 

 illimitable powers of nature when assisted by art. 

 * See Bourbon Eoses.
