ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON". 97 



me a few years ago ; the flowers are of a clear 

 rosy pink, very large, fragrant, double, and cup- 

 shaped ; a profuse bloomer, of strong habit, and 

 makes a splendid pillar. Du Luxemhourg is not 

 hardy enough for this latitude, but bears full ex-

 rosy purple flowers in great splendor ; it is very 

 sweet-scented, of good growth, a free bloomer, 

 perfectly double, and very distinct. Euphrosine ;

 of great excellence, both in its peculiar rosy, buff-

 profusion, and in its peculiar grateful fragrance ; 

 the flowers are quite double, above medium size, 

 and the plant grows freely. Eugene Pirolle^ or 

 Admiral de Rigny^ is a Noisette, of very perfect 

 form ; its bright rose-colored flowers are produced 

 in large clusters ; it is of a dwarf habit, and makes 

 a fine border variety. Fellenherg^ as a Noisette,

 autumnal months ; in the early part of the season 

 it is of a pale red, but in the fall its color ap-

 clusters of thirty to fifty. It is perfectly hardy, 

 a great acquisition to this family, and should be 

 in every garden or rosary that has any preten-
