DESCRIPTION OF THE ROSE. 117 



LUXEMBOURG is of a deep crimson, moderately double, and 

 of growth nearly as vigorous as the last, with which the 

 deep hue of its buds forms a striking contrast. MALVINA 

 is a good rose, with clusters of pink flowers. ECLATANTE 

 is of a deep pink, large, double, and well mossed. COM- 

 TESSE DE MURINAIS is one of the best of the White 

 Mosses. Its flowers, though not so double as the Old 

 Moss, are large, and of the purest white ; and the growth 

 is very vigorous. The CRIMSON or TINWELL Moss some- 

 what belies its name ; for its flowers are rather of a deep 

 rose than crimson. It is, however, a beautiful variety. 

 PRINCESS ADELAIDE is remarkable for the extreme vigor 

 of its growth, and i^ evidently a hybrid of some of the 

 Hybrid Bourbon or Hybrid China roses. It is admirably 

 suited for a pillar or a wall, but requires a full sun, and, if 

 closely pruned, will not bloom at all. It blooms in large 

 clusters : the flowers are of a light glossy rose, very large 

 and full ; and, if not too closely pruned, they are very 

 abundant. The WHITE BATH is an admirable White 

 Moss, large and full in flower, and exquisite in bud. As it 

 is of moderate growth, it will bear close pruning. PRO- 

 LIFIC is a very beautiful variety, resembling the Old Moss. 

 BARONNE DE WASSENAER is a very vigorous rose, of a 

 bright red, and flowering in clusters. CAPTAIN INGRAM
