ROSES THAT BLOOM IX JUXE. 17 



is our oldest variety, perfectly double, and a very 

 desirable rose ; it is the parent of ISToisette Aimee 

 Yibert, an association which will long preserve it 

 from oblivion. Triomjyhe de Bollvjiller, is a superb 

 blush-white rose, very large, very double, in great 

 clusters, and agreeably fragrant; in the South it is 

 surprisingly fine, but with us it is rather tender. 

 When this rose first made its appearance in France, 

 it came out as the most beautiful of the " Teas ;" 

 after its more general cultivation it was placed 

 among the Noisettes ; it now falls back to those 

 sorts that only bloom once, where it is now dis- 

 tinguished under the name of Sem][)ervirens odorata. 

 After fourteen years' travel through the French 

 catalogues, it is now set doivn where it should have 

 been placed at first, a situation given to it by me 

 seven years ago. There are several other varie- 

 ties of Eosa Sempervirens, but none of suf&cient 

 interest or distinction from the above to claim any 

 detailed notice. In the Southern States, this 

 family, associated with Rosa Laevigata or Georgia 

 Evergreen Rose^ would make a very splendid group 

 for covering fences, embankments, or any other 

 object where a continual foliage was desirable; 

 they require very little pruning, and would soon 

 cover a large space. They could be propagated 

 by layering to any extent ; any good soil will suit
