or tea roses. They are, in fact, June roses, that bloom two 

 or three times in the season, whenever strong new shoots 

 spring up; hence, no name so appropriate as Remontante, 

 - sending up new flower shoots. We think this class of 

 roses has been a little overrated by rose-growers. Its great 

 merit is the true, old-fashioned rose character of the blos- 

 soms, - - large and fragrant as a damask or Provence rose. 

 But in this climate, Remontantes cannot be depended on 

 for a constant supply of flowers, like Bourbon roses. Here 

 are our favorites: 



HALF A DOZEN REMONTANTES 



La Reine, deep rose, very large. 

 Duchess of Sutherland, pale rose. 

 Crimson Perpetual, light crimson. 

 Aubernon, brilliant crimson. 

 Lady Alice Peel, fine deep pink. 

 Madam Dameme, dark crimson. 



Next to these come the China roses, less fragrant, but 

 everlastingly in bloom, and with very bright and rich colors. 



HALF A DOZEN CHINA ROSES 



Mrs. Bosanquet, exquisite pale flesh color. 



Madame Breon, rose. 



Eugene Beauharnais, bright crimson. 



Clara Sylvain, pure white. 



Cramoisie Superieurc, brilliant crimson. 



Virginale, blush. 



The tea roses, most refined of all roses, unluckily, require 

 considerable shelter and care in winter, in this climate; but 

 they so richly repay all, that no rose-lover can grudge them 

 this trouble. Tea roses are, indeed, to the common garden 

 varieties what the finest porcelain is to vulgar crockery 

 ware. 



HALF A DOZEN TEA ROSES 



Safrano, the buds rich deep fawn. 



Souvenir d'un Ami, salmon, shaded with rose. 



Goubault, bright rose, large and fragrant. 



Devoniensis, creamy while. 



Bougere, glossi; bronze. 



Josephine Malton, beautiful shaded white.
