J9pril.~] HYBRID CHINESE ROSES. 63 



L'ingenue, shaded violet crimson. 



Louis Philippe, very splendid dark rose, a strong grower, 

 superb. 



Lady Stuart, flesh colour, the form of the flowers before 

 expansion is perfectly spherical, and of exceeding 

 beauty. 



Parny or La tourterelle, lilac or dove colour, cupped and 

 very double, requires to grow to a large bush be- 

 fore its beauty of form and profusion of bloom can 

 be seen. 



Princess, delicate rose, globular and perfectly double, and 

 makes an excellent standard of itself, not being very 

 subject to make shoots from the root. 



Pallagi, Ne plus ultra, or Gloire des hybrids, brilliant red, 

 globular, showy, and perfectly double. 



Prolifere, dark rosy crimson, changing to violet, very per- 

 fect form, a dwarf. 



Triomphe de Laffay, rosy white, large and very beautiful. 



Victor Hugo, changeable rosy violet. 



Violet de Belgique, dark violet crimson, very profuse and 

 perfect. 



Watts' Celestial, Celestial Wells' Cabbage China, Flora 

 perfecta, &c., (it is known under all these names,) 

 delicate rose, petals finely cupped, flower rather flat, 

 is a free grower, and very profuse of bloom. 



Wellington, (Lee's,) rich purple crimson, flower beautifully 

 formed; globular and very double. The first view 

 of it is similar to Bizzare de la Chine ; but it is 

 very distinct in growth, and the colour fades much 

 sooner than in the latter rose, and, indeed, is never 

 so bright. 



William the Fourth, blush red, extremely large, very per- 

 fect form, and is unquestionably a hybrid from the 

 Cabbage Provins, and makes an excellent standard 

 or tea rose. 



HYBRID ROSES THAT ARE STRIPED, SPOTTED OR 

 MARBLED. 



Abbe Berlese, beautiful crimson, spotted with violet, and of 

 the most perfect form.
