THE BOURBON ROSE. 
(Rosa Bourboniana.) 
The Bourbon Rose, a native of the Isle of Bour-

1825. These Roses are distinguishable by their 
large handsome shining foliage and profusion of 
bloom throughout the autumn. Although they 
flower early as well as late (with few exceptions), 
it is rarely that blooms of the natural size, or with 
characteristic colours, are produced until the cool 
of autumnal weather sets in, when for brilliancy and 
tone of colour they are unsurpassed.

others vigorous and robust, forming the best pillar
