THE MOSS ROSE. 37 



* La Diaphane (hybrid); flowers blush rose, large and very double ; form, 

 globular. Habit, pendulous ; growth, moderate. A free bloomer. 

 This Rose is very pretty in bud ; the colour of the flowers is re- 

 markably clear, and the form superb. It was raised by M. Laffay of 

 Bellevue, from whom we expect to receive it this autumn. It is a 

 hybrid between the Moss and French. 



42. Laneii (hybrid) ; flowers rosy crimson, occasionally tinged with purple, 



large and full ; form, globular. Buds broad and bold, fine in form 

 when first expanding, foliage very large. Raised by M. Laffay of 

 Bellevue. Now in the hands of Messrs. Lane and Son. We have 

 not had an opportunity of seeing this variety growing. The above 

 description was taken from flowers exhibited at Chiswick in June 

 last. If the flowers there shewn had not been shaded, we think it 

 will prove a first-rate variety. 



43. Lancel; flowers rich rosy crimson, vivid, the outer petals reflexing shortly 



after the flower expands ; large and full, well mossed ; form, expanded. 

 Habit, branching ; growth, moderate or vigorous ; leaves occasionally 

 mossed. A beautiful Rose.

 I Panaget) size, double ; form, cupped.

47. Luxembourg (hybrid) ; flowers deep crimson, often shaded with purple, of 

 {Femtgineuse) medium size, and double ; form, expanded. Growth, vigorous. A 



beautiful Rose, not unsuitable for a short pillar, or a standard ; re- 

 quires but little pruning. A good seed-bearer. 



48. Malvina (hybrid) ; flowers rosy pink, produced in clusters, large and full, 



well mossed ; form, cupped. Habit, branching ; growth, vigorous.
