VARIETIES DESCRIBED. 71 



Myrianthes, sometimes called Ranimculacea, is 

 a charming plant : its flowers are so perfectly and 

 elegantly shaped, and their colour so delicate, 

 that if not the most beautiful of all, it is one 

 among them. Princesse Louise is a fine and 

 vigorous-growing variety, flowers of a pale rose, 

 very double and prettily cupped. Princesse 

 Marie is one of the deepest in colour in tliis 

 group ; her flowers are of a bright rosy pink, 

 beautifully cupped, and blooming in large clus- 

 ters. Eampant, as its name implies, is a most 

 vigorous and rampant gi'ower, and a very pretty 

 pure white rose. This will cover a wall or build- 

 ing with nearly as much rapidity as the common 

 Ayi'shire Spectabile, or Eose Ayez of some cata- 

 logues, is a fine and distinct climbing rose, with 

 bright rosy lilac flowers, and curiously incised 

 petals; a most vigorous-growing and desirable 

 variety. Triomphe de Bolwyller or Sempervirens 

 odorata, is a hybrid between the Eosa semper- 

 virens and the Tea-scented China Eose : its larofe 

 globular flowers are very fragrant, and much like 

 Noisette Lamarque, differing slightly in colour. 

 This rose often blooms in the autumn, and that 

 pleasing quality makes it still more desirable. It 

 is, however, not nearly so hardy as the other 

 members of this group, and requires a wall with 

 a southern aspect. Madame Sancy de Parabere 

 is a new rose of this group, with rose-coloiu:ed 

 flowers, and a very rapid climber.
