KOSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 101 



best appropriated for a fence or arbor. Lntea^ or 

 Smithii, is a great favorite through the Southern 

 States, growing freely, and opening in great per- 

 fection, except in time of rain ; the color is of a 

 pale lemon-yellow before the sun destroys it, and 

 is delightfully fragrant, though entirely too ten- 

 der for the open air in Pennsylvania. Madam 

 Byrne and Cora L. Barton were produced from 

 the same hip of seed from Lamarque, and are 

 roses very distinct, both in habit and color. 

 Madam Byrne is a yellowish-white, with a pink 

 centre, large, and very double ; the wood is very 

 slender, but of free growth, and makes a beauti- 

 ful pillar plant ; from the same seed, I obtained 

 also a bright scarlet rose j^erfectly single, which 

 shows that almost every variety of color may be 

 produced from the same rose, at the same time, 

 and Tsdthout artificial impregnation ; but by the 

 assistance of art, both character and color may be 

 greatly improved. Madam Jovin^ delicate pink, 

 small, compact flower, very perfect; plant of a 

 low growth. Madam Deslon gel tamps ^ a beauti- 

 ful waxy white or flesh white ; fine stiff" petals, 

 good form, and strong growth, partaking of the 

 Bourbon family, quite new. Maria, rosy red, very 

 pretty, perfect form, a constant bloomer, wood 

 slender, though of rapid growth. Mrs. Siddons^
