of many purple,'crimson, and blush roses. Before the appearance 

 of these, the Bourbons were nearly all of a rose colour. Probably

*Amarantine, lively rose. 



Armosa, fine bright pink. 



Augustine Lelieur, vivid, even rose.

 arc very valuable, being continually in flower. They group ad- 

 mirably with the Tea-scented ; and their colours being, in part, 

 those which are deficient among the latter, they are the more to be 



valued. 



The Lawrcncianas are very pretty Roses, but do not group well
