108 THE ROSE GARDEN. 



Angers. Let us hear what he says of them. — " I have formed a new division for 

 an interesting Group of Perpetual Roses, obtained from several varieties which 

 acknowledge the Rose de Trianon as their type — a plant I first made known. 

 There are now several White kinds. Certain peculiar characters, and the 

 prospect of a great increase of varieties, have induced me to separate- them from 

 other Perpetuals. They are desirable, from their decided characters : they are 

 unique in form, colour, and the disposition of the flowers, which are generally very 

 sweet. They are not more delicate than the Damask Perpetual, and are far more 

 vigorous in growth." 



This Group is as yet in its infancy ; but, from the varieties we have already 

 seen, we augur it will give birth to some large well-formed Roses. The flowers 

 are mostly produced in small corymbs in the summer flowering, and the leaves 

 gather in tufts near the ends of the shoots. 



1. Adele Mauz' ; flowers rose, large and full ; curious foliage. 



2. Amanda Patenotte ; flowers dark rose, large and full ; form, globular. 



Habit, erect ; growth, moderate. 



3. Amandine; flowers pale rose, large and full. 



4. Antigone ; flowers dark mottled rose, produced in corymbs, large and very 



double; form, globular. 



5. Arielle ; flowers lilac rose, of medium size, full. 



6. Blanche Vibert ; flowers yellowish when first opening, changing to white, 



of medium size, full. 



7. Crillon; flowers flesh-colour, of medium size, full. 



8. De Trianon; flowers rose, of medium size, double; form, cupped. 



9. Delphine Gay ; flowers white, tinted with flesh, of medium size, full ; 



almost spineless. 



10. Duke of Devonshire ; flowers bright rose, large and full, fine and distinct. 



11. Earl of Derby ; flowers rose, their margin almost white, large and full ; 



form, cupped. Habit, erect ; growth, very vigorous ; foliage, fine, 

 the young leaves edged with red. A fine Rose. 



12. Eliza Balcombe ; flowers white, their centre inclining to flesh, small and 



very double ; form, cupped. This variety appears to possess traces of 

 the Noisette Aimee Vibert, which has likely been the parent on one 

 side. 



13. Joasine Hanet ; flowers purplish red, produced in corymbs, of medium size, 



full. 



14. Leonide Leroy; flowers white, slightly tinted with flesh, produced in 



corymbs, of medium size, full; form, globular.
