crimson, very rich and effective when in per- 
fection, but very fleeting; the sun soon gives 
them a muddy hue. The flowers are well 
shaped, but small, and have slight fragrance; 
they are very freely produced in the spring 
and summer months, but, as a rule, not in 
the autumn. The shoots are of moderate or 
short growth, short jointed, erect, very stiff, 
and covered with very numerous reddish 
thorns. The foliage is of lustrous dark green, 
very subject to mildew. They are difficult

Evéque de Nimes, Lord Raglan, Louis Chaix, 
Mrs. Standish, Vainqueur de Solferino.

the Baronne Prévost, Jules Margottin and La
