THE WICHURAIANA HYBRIDS 65 



Debutante. A very lovely Rose, with a sweet scent. Its 

 flowers are of a soft pink, borne in pyramidal clusters 

 from early July, and occasionally in Autumn. 



Diabolo. This is a dark purple Rose, with a white spot 

 at the base of the petals and golden stamens, the 

 whole effect being rich and striking. Its flowers 

 are large and single or semi-double, borne in clusters. 



Dorothy Perkins. This is so well known as hardly to 

 need description. It is one of the best of the 

 Wichuraiana hybrids, bearing large pyramidal 

 clusters of small, very double rosette-like flowers. 

 It is a very free bloomer, bearing flowers from mid- 

 July till almost Winter. 



Edmond Proust. This is one of the Roses with quite 

 evergreen foliage, and is therefore very useful as a 

 screen or to cover trellis. It has buds of copper 

 pink, which change, when open, to salmon and then 

 white. The uncertainty of its colour is the worst 

 point about this Rose. The flowers appear about 

 the end of June and are borne in trusses. 



Edwin Lonsdale is a pale lemon yellow Rose. It is a 

 strong grower, and very free in habit. 



Emile Fortepaule. This is another of the yellow Roses 

 which turn to creamy white when open. It has 

 small clusters of flat double blooms, and flowers 

 from mid-June. 



Evergreen Gem. This Rose has a pleasant Sweet-briar 

 perfume, with double flowers of buff and white. 

 It is an early bloomer. 



Francis. A late flowering Rose. Its flowers are single, 

 bright red fading to a paler tint, borne in large 

 clusters. Its stamens are yellow and conspicuous. 



Francois Foucard. An early Rose, with pale lemon 

 flowers borne in trusses of one to five. These are 

 double, and appear from June 1 5th, and sometimes 

 again in Autumn.
