DESCRIPTION OP THE ROSE. 129 



and its flowers are large and very full. Inferior roses, 

 however, are frequently sold under its name, especially in 

 this country. COUPE D'HEBE is remarkable both for the 

 perfection of its cup-like form, and for the delicate rose- 

 color of its petals. Its growth is very vigorous; and, 

 like most of its kindred, it is perfectly hardy. GENERAL 

 JACQUEMINOT is a large purplish-crimson rose. It must 

 not be confounded with the Hybrid Perpetual of the same 

 name. FULGENS is of a deep crimson. TRIOMPHE DE 

 BAYEUX is white, and an excellent pillar-rose. MADAME 

 PLANTLER is also white, but very distinct from the last; 

 for, as it sprang on the mother's side from the Noisette, 

 it blooms in clusters. Its individual flowers are surpassed 

 by those of one or two other white roses ; but the extraor- 

 dinary profusion of its bloom, its graceful habit, its neat 

 foliage, and its hardy, enduring nature, make it, on the 

 whole, the best rose of its color in cultivation. PAUL 

 PERRAS is Bourbon on the mother's side, as is also PAUL 

 RICAUT. The first is of a pale rose, the second of a bright 

 crimson. VIVID is a seedling of the English rose-grower, 

 Mr. William Paul. Its flowers are not large, but they are 

 of the most vivid crimson; and the vigorous habit of 

 the plant makes it very suitable either for a pillar or a 



trellis.
