THE LATEST LISTS OF ROSES. 225 



for a few years a popular forcing rose; in the climate of 

 New York, it is only suited for growing under glass. 



Pearl. — (Hybrid). — Small, but with handsome buds, 

 of line shape; veiy pale flesh-color; rather dwarf, and 

 often mildews. 



Perfection de >Ionp1aisir. — Medium size, with fine 

 buds; dark canary-yellow; of moderate growth, but free- 

 flowering; one experienced grower says : '* A fine rose for 

 any purpose." 



Perle des Jardins. — Large to very large, excellent 

 form, with stiff stem; deep canary-yellow; exquite tea-

 was raised in that great center of Eose culture, 

 Lyons, France, but by Ducher, in 1872. 



Pierre Guillot. — (Hybrid). — Large, erect, well-formed; 

 bright red; fragrant; moderate to vigorous; free bloomer. 



President. — This name, on p. 48, should be cancelled, 

 and Adam substituted, as that is the proper name of the 

 variety, which is much used for winter forcing. 



Reine de Portugal. — Large and full; salmon or cop- 

 pery-yellow; very good in bud, but opens poorly; a well-

Reine IHaria Pia. — (Climber). — Large, full, double;
