l-i2 ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 



ingly interesting, many of them far surpassing 

 those of ten years' standing. Since our last edition, 

 brilliancy of color has predominated in the new 

 sorts surpassing any previously observed, combin- 

 ing size, delicacy, and fragrance ; though it must 

 be observed that the pale colors of this family 

 have generally the least fragrance. In those now 

 described, every color mil be found, from nearly 

 pure white to dark crimson purple. 



Acidalie has been in cultivation several years, 

 but is only now coming into notice for its distinct 

 pale rose-white color ; the flower is perfect in form, 

 large, and a little fragrant; the plant is quite 

 hardy, and grows well. Ameniade^ bright rose 

 when first open, fading to paler, very perfect form, 

 strong grower, blooming in large clusters. Apol- 

 line^ fine bright pink, a fair rival to Hermosa, which 

 it excels in color, and is equal in form. Ama- 

 rantine, bright carmine, large flowers, fully double ; 

 of medium growth. Beluze, or Anne Beluze^ pale 

 waxy blush, very perfect in form, a distinct ar- 

 ticle. Bouquet de Flore is a great favorite, and 

 though it has been cultivated some years, is 3^et 

 quite scarce ; the flowers are very large, perfectly 

 double, with large round firm petals, blooming 

 very profusely. It possesses considerable fra- 

 grance, is a strong grower, and quite hardy.
