pink. It makes a symmetrical bush, and blossoms 

 rather late, prolonging the Rose season. It is 

 hardy and easy to grow. 



PAUL NEYRON, the largest of all the hardy Roses, 

 but rather difficult to bring into bloom successfully 

 on account of the uncertainty of the buds, and the 

 certainty that the insects will destroy them. This 

 Rose will look shabby and uninteresting unless 

 much attention is given it, and its foliage fre- 

 quently sprayed from the time the leaves begin to 

 appear. 



ANNE DE DIESBACH is a hardy Rose and a good 

 bloomer, bearing many large and deliciously fra- 

 grant flowers of a rich carmine-rose colour. The 

 flowers are of fine form and are very good for cut- 

 ting; stems quite long. A charming Rose, and 

 really next in value to Ulrich Brunner. 



MRS. JOHN LAING, soft pink in colour, with large, 

 fragrant blossoms, and perfectly hardy; a good 

 blooming Rose. 



There is a Polyantha Rose, CLOTHILDE SOUPERT, 

 that should have a place in the garden. It is white 

 in colour often changing to light rose, and two 

 distinct colours are often seen on the same plant.
