62 OBSERVATIONS ON THE CULTURE OF ROSES IN POTS. 



recommended for pot-culture ; still, these few, cast among the many, 

 give a great degree of distinctness to a collection ; and they certainly 

 cannot be dispensed with anywhere :— Blush, blush pink. Belina, 

 rich crimson, shot with purple. Cristata, bright rose. Du Luxem- 

 bourg,* fine crimson purple. Lancel, bright rosy purple. Prolific, 

 rose. Unique, pure white. Veillards, pale rose. 



(8.) Provence. — This is an excellent class of Roses for growing in 

 pots ; and the old ^Cabbage Rose must be excluded. The whole of 

 them are sweet — very sweet ; and their pendulous growth gives them 

 a very graceful appearance. The flowers are large, well formed, 

 and, in shape, mostly globular : — Anais Segalas, rosy lilac. Angers, 

 fine bright rose. *D'Abbeville, cherry rose, vivid. D'Avranches, 

 blush pink. La Fiancee, pale flesh. Laura, rosy lilac. Pompon 

 de Laqueue, flesh. Queen of the Provence, blush lilac. Sylvain, 

 brilliant rose. 



(S.) Alba. — It is here we find that beautiful style of Rose, the 

 edges of which are white, with pink centre,in the greatest perfection. 

 The flowers are not of the largest dimensions ; but the fine shape 

 and elegant arrangement of the petals more than compensate for the 

 slight deficiency in size. The Albas are bold, but not rampant 

 growers : — Belle de Segur, fine blush. Blush Hip, blush, rose 

 centre. Felicite Parmentier, beautiful blush. Henriette Campan, 

 light rosy purple. La Seduisante, pink, edges pale. Princess 

 Lamballe, pure white. Sophie de Baviere, clear light rose. Sophie 

 de Marcilly, flesh, edges pale. 



(S.) Gallica. — These are of first merit as show Roses : they are 

 of compact growth, particular 'regularity of petal, and fine outline. 

 There is also a great variety and richness of colour among them; and 

 they are, for the most part, very fragrant : — Adele Prevost, silvery 

 blush, fine form. Aurelie Lemaire, pale rose. Arthemise, deep 

 crimson purple. Beaute Vive, bright crimson. Belle Satinee, rosy 

 pink. Bizarre Marbree, rose, marbled with white. Blanch Fleur, 

 fine flesh white. Boula de Nanteuil, brilliant crimson and purple. 

 Comte de Murinais, purple, spotted with red. Cynthie, beautiful 

 silvery blush. D'Aguessau, deep bright crimson. *Duc de Bas- 

 sano, dark red, spotted with white, distinct. *L\;c de Trevise, 

 crimson purple. Duchesse d'Abrantes, pale rose. Docteur Diel- 

 them, bright shaded rose. Dumont d'Urville, deep red, fine. En-
