 of great fragrance. In the very first rank are 

 Commandant Felix Faure, Senateur Vaisse, Etienne 

 Levet, Marie Baumann, Dupuy Jamain, Exposition de 

 Brie, Heinrich Schultheis, Maurice Bernardine, while

Among the Bourbons we have Souvenir de la 

 Malmaison, Mme Isaac Pereire, with an elusive but 

 typical fragrance, and among hybrid Bourbons is the 

 distinct and delicious Zephirine Drouhin. Of the 

 Provence, Gallica, and allied classes perhaps the sweetest 

 are the common Provence or Cabbage Rose, Rosa 

 Mundi, Maiden's Blush, York and Lancaster, and 

 Tuscany. 



Among Moss Roses we have Blanche Moreau, 

 Zenobia, and Salet, whilst the chief contribution of the 

 Scotch Roses is Stanwell Perpetual. This is a real 

 utility Rose, flowering sometimes as early as May, and 

 continuing until cut down by frost. The scent 

 resembles that of the Old Provence. The Wichuraiana 

 hybrids include many exquisitely fragrant Roses, among 

 which are Auguste Barbier, Gerbe Rose the fragrance 

 of which has been described as finer than that of any 

 other flower Francois Juranville, Evangeline, Leonie
