OLD AND NEW ROSES. 213 
less numerous and with more of a yellowish 
hue. The flowers are more globular, stand 
the sun better, and are much more freely 
produced, constituting a most valuable 
family. The varieties are A. K. Williams, 
Fisher Holmes, and Wilhelm Koelle. 
The Duke of Edinburgh, sent out by 
George Paul in 1868, is the only English rose 
which may be regarded as the founder of a 
family. The flowers are inclined to be 
thinner in petal than those of the Jacquemi- 
not type, rather smaller, burn much more 
quickly in the sun, and are not constant in 
autumn. It isa very beautiful family when 
grown in a moist, cool climate; but there are 
few of the members that will do well under 
our hot sun. The varieties best known, 
mostly of recent origin, are, Brightness of 
Cheshunt, Dr. Hooker, Duke of Connaught, 
Duke of Teck, Robert Marnock, S. Reynolds 
Hole, Sultan of Zanzibar, and The Shah. 
Baroness Rothschild is the typical repre- 
sentative of asmall but very beautiful family, 
the very aristocracy of roses. It is not a 
new rose, but its merits have not been recog- 
nized till within a few years. Now that the 
florists have finally taken it for winter forc- 
ing, it is becoming well known, but it will 
always command comparatively high prices
