SOME NEW CLASSES OF ROSES 125 



really perpetual-flowering Moss roses. At present the 

 so-called perpetual Mosses are really perpetual in name 

 only. 



Perhaps the greatest boon of all would be a group of 

 really mildew-proof roses. Will this be obtained ? I 

 think it will. So much time is occupied, and so much 

 labour caused by the attacks of this fungus that the 

 amateur would be only too glad of more roses of the 

 type of Madame Edmee Metz, whose foliage is of such a 

 leathery substance as to defy the mildew. 



Really perpetual-flowering Penzance Sweet Briers 

 would find a ready welcome. Some few yield blossom 

 very sparsely in the autumn, but we want them to be 

 as gay then as in June.
