KOSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 121 



tioned in this little volume that has been so nni- 

 versally distributed over the floral world in the 

 space of eighteen years, as this celebrated variety. 

 The flowers are often six inches in diameter, of a 

 peculiar ros}^ buff color, and may be frequently 

 seen of a yellowish-white or deep rose, according 

 to the season and situation ; its growth is remark- 

 ably strong, in some soils producing shoots five 

 feet long in one season, flowering freely and per- 

 fectly, and is possessed of considerable fragrance. 

 Turgot^ dark rose in the form of Belle ^larguerite, 

 of the same habit but darker in color. Vicomtesse 

 de Cazes^ pale orange-yellow, quite double, very 

 fine when extra well grown. This rose, with Eliza 

 Sauvage, Princess Adelaide, and some others, has 

 the same fault of weak growth and paucity of 

 bloom. Victoria Modeste^ in the southern latitudes, 

 is very splendid, blooming perfectly the whole 

 season ; but it does not bloom here, except in the 

 months of July and August. The flowers are of 

 a fine blush color, very large and cup formed ; 

 the growth of the strongest habit, and the shoots 

 thickly studded with thorns. William Wallace is 

 of a pale blush color, an extra large flower per- 

 fectly double, blooms and grows freely. 



There could be many others named, but their 

 description would merely be a repetition of those
