For general cultivation the following are a few of the best Roses to 

 Hybrid Perpetuals : Red and dark Crimson, etc., Alfred p-row 

 Colomb, Chas. Lefebvre, Capt. Hayward, Duke Edinburgh, 

 Fisher Holmes, General Jacqueminot, La Rosine, S. M. 

 Rodocanachi, and Ulrich Brunner. For Pink : Mrs John 

 Laing, Mrs Sharman Crawford, and Madame Gabriel Luizet 

 are by far the best growers and all-round good sorts. 



For White : Frau Karl Druschki is a long way ahead of 

 all others, though Margaret Dickson is a strong grower, but it 

 is rather subject to mildew. 



In the Teas for Pink, Catherine Mermet, Maman Cochet, 

 Madame Lambard, and Madame de Watteville are good. For 

 Yellow and shades of yellow, Anna Ollivier, Marie van 

 Houtte, Madame Hoste, and Souv. de Prince Netting are 

 the best. For Whites, The Bride, White Maman Cochet, 

 Souv. de S. A. Prince, and Hon. Edith Giffbrd are all 

 good. 



In the Hybrid Tea class, for Red, Liberty, Marquis 

 Salisbury, and Grliss an Teplitz (Autumn flowering) are all fine

 Pink and shades of pink, Mrs W. J. Grant, Marquise Litta, 

 Caroline Testout, La France, Killarney, and Viscountess 

 Folkestone are good. Whilst for Yellow, White and inter-

 Clara Watson, Antoine Rivoire, Madam Abel Chatenay, and 

 Souv. de President Carnot are all very fine. 



All the above varieties can be recommended for any garden, 

 as they are all fair growers, and under ordinary treatment will
