Group XXVII.— HYBRID PERPETUAL. 



%* As the Class Hybrid Perpetual of many Catalogues is divided into four Groups by our 

 arrangement, should the Amateur not find any Variety in the present Group, he will likely 

 meet with it either in that which precedes, or one of the two which follows it. 



How came we in possession of these lovely Roses which have so suddenly de- 

 lighted us with their presence, forming, as they do, the most valuable Group 

 among Autumnals ? Their origin is various ; doubtless, in many instances un- 

 known. The greater part, however, have been raised by M. Laffay from between 

 the Hybrid Bourbon or Hybrid Chinese and Damask Perpetual. Princesse 

 Helene, which was introduced in 1837, was the first striking variety that was 

 obtained ; Queen Victoria foUWed next ; and in 1840 there were above twenty 

 varieties enumerated in the Rose Catalogues. Several of these, however, were 

 drawn from other Groups : one- fourth were Bourbon Perpetuals. 



The Group before us, spoken of in reference to their external characters, might 

 be called Hybrid Chinese blooming in the autumn. They are indeed fine Roses, 

 quite hardy, and very sweet. They thrive under common treatment, and are 

 suited alike for standards and dwarfs, for pot-culture and forcing. Indeed, 

 nowhere are they out of place : they grow and flower well in the vicinity of Lon- 

 don, and in the northern parts of England and Scotland. 



1. Adele Javon; flowers blush, with rosy centre, of medium size, full ; form, 



globular. Habit, branching ; growth, moderate. A new style of 

 Rose, producing corymbs with from 20 to 30 flowers each, but of 

 doubtful merit. Raised in the vicinity of Paris. Introduced in 

 1847. 



2. Alphonse Karr ; flowers flesh-coloured rose, paler at their margin, the 



flower-buds round and dark when young, large and very double ; form, 

 expanded. Habit, erect ; growth, moderate. Raised in the vicinity 

 of Paris. Introduced in 1847. 

 3. Amiral d'Esting; flowers of a beautiful lilac red, of medium size, full;
