ROSES FOR PILLARS. 



BY SURREYENSIS. 



Your correspondent " Azalea" asks for a list of the best pillar roses, 

 and I am glad to assist any one in the cultivation of that queen of 

 plants, now rendered doubly valuable by the length of time they 

 remain in bloom ; I have no doubt with care they will soon be ob- 

 tained eight or ten months in the year, for their cultivation is yet in 

 its infancy. At the head of all I place 



THE BOURBONS. 



"Madame Despres." — I know not which most to admire, the 

 flower or the foliage ; the former is pink, equal in beauty to the 

 Provence rose, turning off to lilac ; it blooms in abundance from 

 June to November. 



" Gloire de Rosamere." — Brilliant crimson, semi-double, cupped 

 petals, with the odour of otto of roses : a most abundant bloomer. 



" Dubourg." — Very double, blush with a darker centre, abundant 

 bloomer, and very beautiful. 



" Phoenix." — Brilliant crimson : this is quite new. 



" Cytheree." — Pale rose. 



" Mill'esie." — Light rose, double cupped petals. 



" Olu Bourbon." — Bright deep rose. 



NOISETTES. 

 " Cerise." — Rapid growth, bright crimson, very late bloomer, 

 semi-double.
