NEW ROSES OF 1866. 



The following are the most promising of the latest new roses. The de 

 scriptions are those of the raisers ; and as the varieties have not yet bloomed 

 In this country, and very few of them in England, it is impossible to speak of 

 them definitely. Most of them are results of the skill and perseverance of 

 French cultivators.
