DESCRIPTION. 137 



Monsieur Futado, of a fine sulphur, and Rubens, 

 delicate pink and fawn. Duchess of Edinburgh 

 is a beautiful rose colour. Madame Trie, much 

 likeGloire de Dijon, is a very pretty variety, dif- 

 fering from its parent in foliage and growth. 

 Catherine Mermet a charming rose, Hortensia 

 white, shaded with yellow, Madame Damaizin 

 large, full, and globular, salmon pink in centre, 

 tinged with creamy yellow on the outer petals, 

 Madame Gaillard, deep salmon pink shaded with 

 fawn Adrienne, Christolphe, Madame Ducher a 

 full flower, buff pink Letty Coles ; are all sorts 

 worthy of cultivation, although individually they 

 may not appear to differ much in colour, in a 

 bouquet the various shades of colour harmonise 

 when collected, and add greatly to the charm 

 of the most charming of all bouquets — Tea roses 

 when opening. We must not pass over a very 

 peculiar English rose, the Climbing Devo- 

 niensis, a distinct variety in habit, which 

 was propagated from a vigorous shoot of the 

 old sort, and what is called a sport. Its 

 flowers are of the same size and fragrance as its 

 parent, but its vigour is quite extraordinary, as it 

 makes shoots in one season from fifteen to eighteen 

 feet in length, so that it forms a fine pillar rose ; 

 the second season every bud on these long shoots 

 puts forth a cluster of flowers.
