THE POLYANTHA ROSES. 



A distinct species of Rose {Rosa poly antha, ) was intro- 

 duced from Japan several years ago. This is distin- 

 guished by having numerous very small flowers, borne in 

 panicled clusters. In the hands of the French cultiva- 

 tors, it has produced what promises to be a distinct and 

 popular class, of which the following are regarded as the 

 best. They are probably hybrids, as they remontant, 

 while the original species blooms but once. The English 

 often call them " Daisy Roses." 



Anne llarie de Montravcl.— Small, an inch and a 

 half in diameter, very double; pure white; lasts a long 

 while in perfection; moderately fragrant. Jean Sisley 

 writes: " Each truss will make in itself a splendid bou- 

 quet." Dwarf, but vigorous. 



M'lle. C^cile Briinner.— Very small, full; fine sal- 

 mon-pink; highly fragrant; moderate or dwarf ; flowers 

 freely. Obtained bv crossing with a Tea.
