XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 243, 
“liberal treatment,” they should not be pruned back 
too closely. The variety is not hardy or long-lived, 
and should be budded every year, preferably on the 
briar, as, though some do well as cutbacks, maidens 
are more to be depended on: some find it answers 
best as a standard. Not to be recommended for 
those who cannot give it good soil, and high culture. 
Grand Mogul is said to be a seedling from this 
beautiful Rose. 
Baroness Rothschild (Pernet, 1867).—Eliminated 
by the editors of this edition. 
Beauty of Waltham (W. Paul & Son, 1862).—Fair 
in growth and foliage, and not much liable to injury 
from fungoid pests or rain. The blooms come true 
and well, being seldom divided or malformed. The 
shape varies according to situation and cultivation. 
The N.R.S. Catalogue calls it ‘‘ imbricated,”’ and the 
raiser ‘“‘cupped”’: my specimens do not come in 
either of these forms, but the petals are very closely 
curved inwards in the centre in a manner that pro- 
claims the variety at once. Nevertheless it should 
be noted that on better soil than mine it does come 
regularly of semi-imbricated form, and is then a fine 
flower. Like some others somewhat of this shape, 
and those of the pointed form, this Rose has the 
good custom of closing in and guarding its centre 
more tightly in hot weather when it is most needed 
than at other times. Not first-class, but a free 
bloomer, rather late, good in lasting qualities and 
as an autumnal, but not very large, very fragrant. 
It has produced a seedling, Lady Arthur Hill (Dick- 
son, 1889), of a novel shade of colour, but not large 
enough.
