212 A DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF ROSES SEEN JN 1842. 



assist some readers of the Floricultural Cabinet in making a 

 selection this season. With that view I forward it for insertion. I 

 intend to make additional remarks the coming blooming season, and 

 will forward them when completed. Adeline, a good double light 

 rose; Descemet, bright rose, cup-shaped and semi-double; Due 

 d'Angouleme, large and double, deep rose ; and Duchesne, beautiful 

 blush pink, globular, and double. Moss : — Crimson, Du Luxem- 

 bouig and Eclatante arc the best high-coloured kinds, and Blush, 

 Pompon and White Bath are the best pink and white sorts. Damask : 

 — Those which pleased us most in this section were, Bachelier, pink, 

 with a salmon shade, compact, large, and double ; Belle d'Auteuil, 

 large, cupped, lilac rose; Deesse de Flore, or Coralie, white, with a 

 rosy centre ; La Ville de Bruxelles, rose; and Madame Hardy, pure 

 white. Perpetual : — Antinous, deep rosy purple, fine cupped, double 

 flower ; Belle Faber, bright deep rose ; Emilie Duval, delicate pale 

 rose ; Lodoiska Marin, bright rose, and a remarkably free bloomer ; 

 and Triomphe de Montmorenci, a fine dark rose, very double, and 

 compact. Hybrid Perpetual : — Fulgorie, a brilliant dark rose, large, 

 globular, and double ; Princesse Helene, bright rosy purple, and 

 Reine Victoria, bright rose, with a carmine centre. Alba : — This 

 section contains many of the finest white and blush Roses, and most 

 of the kinds have a dwarf compact habit ; the more desirable are, 

 Josephine Beauharnois, or Belle de Segur, fine double blush, and an 

 abundant flowerer; Belle Therese, pretty pale rose; Felicite Par- 

 mentier, blush, beautiful when just expanding ; Pompon blanc, small, 

 compact, pale rose ; and Princesse de Lamballe, a remarkably pure 

 white, large, and very double. Gallica : — Assemblage de Beaute, 

 singular from the carmine ground-colour being beautifully mottled 

 with white ; Berlize, violet, plentifully spotted with white ; Eugene 

 Napoleon, beautiful violet-purple, compact, large, and very double ; 

 and Orpheline de Juillet, violet-purple, remarkably velvety; are 

 very distinct : most of this class are fine show Roses. Hybrid 

 China and Bourbon : — This class is remarkable for the brilliancy 

 of colour that many of the kinds possess: Beauty of Billiard, very 

 bright crimson, sometimes almost scarlet ; Blanche-fleur, superb 

 blush, becoming almost white, very large, and double; Brennus, or 

 Brutus, one of the best and most showy carmine Roses in our gardens ; 

 Duke of Devonshire, large, handsome lilac rose, occasionally striped
