158 KOSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 



rosy-pink color, lovely cup form, very double and 

 quite sweet scented. La Beine^ flowers of the 

 largest size, color rosy lijac, perfect cup or bowl 

 form, a strong grower, fragrant. Louise Peyronny^ 

 bright rosy pink, very large flower with cupped 

 petals, forming a globe (a rival to La Reine), free 

 growth and good habit. Madame ^ me, pale rose, 

 red and blush, very distinct, cupped flower ; plant 

 of moderate growth. Madame Fremion^ color 

 bright carmine, large cupped flower, very distinct, 

 plant of good growth. Madame Rivers^ silvery 

 blush, very perfect cup form, fragrant, a free 

 grower and very desirable, a distinct flower. When 

 I saw this rose first in France in 1852, I was 

 much gratified with its decidedly distinct color ; 

 but yet, in my own collection the past season, it 

 had not one admirer for twenty that was chained 

 to Giant of the Battle or Charles Bossiere ; bright 

 colors is our national taste. Madame Dememe is 

 of a rich rose color, very large, flower cup form, 

 quite fragrant, a strong grower, with very rich 

 foliage. Marquise Boccella, quite a favorite, being 

 a distinct dwarf variety, with pale, silvery blush 

 flowers, very double, blooming freely the whole 

 season. Louis Bonaparte has immense rosy-lilac 

 flowers, fully double, always perfect, growing with 

 great luxuriance, and makes a splendid plant.
