16S ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 



term it, from the Wliite or Pink Monthly Damask ; 

 plants of it having been known to assume the 

 habit of those varieties. Scotch Perpetual does not 

 bloom so constantly as we might expect from the 

 name ; yet it gives occasional clusters of flowers 

 of nearly a white color, during the summer 

 months ; its foliage, too, is very distinct from any 

 of those named : it has more of the brier character, 

 and is very similar in growth to the old Scotch 

 Eose. Stanwell is an English variety; a true 

 Perpetual, blooming profusely and constantly the 

 whole summer, till late in the season. Its habit 

 is also like a Scotch Eose, with large double pale- 

 blush flowers of exquisite fragrance. 



It will be observed that this family, like the 

 Bourbons and Eemontantes, does not contain a 

 genuine striped variety, so that the hybridizer and 

 amateur have yet a large and new field open to 

 their operations. "We would suggest that Blanche 

 Yibert, together with Du Eoi and the T^hite 

 Monthly Damask, be fertilized ; these seed abund- 

 antly, and, with the culture we have recommended, 

 the seedlings will bloom in three years. Some 

 have advanced that the finest roses from seed are 

 always the longest in flowering; when there is any 

 tardiness observed, a few buds can be put into 

 stocks, which will hasten their inflorescence.
