CHAPTER XVII. 



THE LATEST LISTS OF ROSES. 

 The following comprise the latest new varieties of Roses: 



EEMOKTANT OR HYBBID PERPETUALS. 



As stated on page 32, the name " Hybrid Perpetual," 

 as applied to this class of Roses, is calculated to mislead 

 those unacquainted with Roses, and the term Remontant 

 was chosen instead. Still, most of the catalogues use the 

 term ** Hybrid Perpetual," and some call the class 

 *' Hybrid Remontant." Of late years Roses of this class 

 have been largely employed for forcing. 



Alfred Colomb, not new, but little known at the time 

 of the former list. Large, brilliant crimson, fine form 

 and very fragrant. A seedling of the popular Gen, 

 Jacqueminot, and one of the best. 



Anne de Diesbach has been several years in cultiva- 

 tion and found to be desirable. Large, full, fine shape; 

 clear, bright carmine; fragrant and very hardy. 



Antoine Mouton. — Medium size, full; lively rose, 

 tinged with lilac; very fragrant; plant vigorous. 



Auguste Bucbner. — Large, full; bright scarlet, shaded 

 with purple; growth vigorous. 



Baroness Kotbsehild, (also Madame de Rothschild).— 

 One of the largest roses; fine form; pink, shaded with 

 rose; exceedingly hardy and a free bloomer. 



Beauty of Waltham.— Large, full, of fine form; light 

 rosy crimson; free bloomer. 



Boieldieu.— Very large and full; fine cherry red, of the 

 style of Baronne Prevost; plant vigorous.
