ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 131 



geant is a bright pink rose, of fine habit, profuse 

 flowering, strong growth, and perfectly hardy ; it 

 was grown from seed by Mr. Mackenzie, of this 

 city. Prince Charles is a fine light crimson variety, 

 very perfect in form, and, as well as many others 

 of similar good qualities, is an offspring of the 

 Luxembourg Gardens. Prince Eughie is a very 

 rich crimson rose, being in color between Cramoisi 

 Superieur, and Eoi des Cramoisis ; perfectly double 

 and hardy. Queen of France^ large, dark red, very 

 double, cup form, approaching the character of 

 Marjolin. Peine de Lorjfibardie is the queen of the 

 bright rosy-red varieties ; it is of the most globu- 

 lar form, which it retains to its last hour. The 

 flowers are perfectly double, and produced in pro- 

 fusion ; the plant grows rapidly, and is quite hardy. 

 There is not a rose of the color better adapted for 

 forcing or growing in pots, for the parlor or green- 

 house. Poi cks Cramoisis was brought by me, in 

 1839, from Paris, where I saw the original plant, 

 around which there was a regularly trodden path 

 made by its admirers, of which I was one, never 

 before having seen a dark rich crimson rose with 

 so much odor ; the flowers too were large, fully 

 double, and cup-formed ; the plant three or four 

 feet high, and fully loaded wdtli its gorgeous blos- 

 soms. It has since appeared in several collections.
