ROSES, HYBRID, PERPETUAL. 435 



ROSES, NOISETTE. 



between the Bourbons, the Chinese, and 

 the Damask. Princess Helena was the 

 first introduced in 1837 ; Queen Victoria 

 followed ; and in 1840 there were above 

 twenty varieties enumerated in the rose 

 catalogue, one-fourth of which, however, 

 were Bourbons. Since this time the 

 number of varieties has greatly increased. 



Of these, Brightness of Cheshunt makes 

 a good standard, Paul's Cheshunt Scarlet, 

 a good bedder, and those marked * are 

 excellent climbers. They are, indeed, fine 

 roses, quite hardy, and very sweet. They 

 thrive under the common treatment, and 

 are suited alike for standards and dwarfs, 

 for pot-culture and forcing. 



The following is a list of the best 

 varieties of Hybrid Perpetual Roses for 

 ordinary garden purposes, taken from 

 Messrs. Paul & Son's catalogue : 



American Beauty, deep rose, large globular 



flower, sweet scent.

red, approaching scarlet.

 Princess Louise Victoria,* light pearl or rosy

Roses, Moss. 



The Moss rose is supposed to be an acci- 

 dental sport of the Provence rose. 



This rose above all others requires a 

 warm rich soil, with an airy exposure ; 

 moisture and shade also seem essential to 

 preserving the mossy character; but this 

 moisture must not partake of the stagnant 

 nature. To ensure a fine autumnal bloom 

 of moss roses, the soil should be deep and 

 rich ; if not so naturally, the roses should 

 be lifted annually or biennially, and re- 

 planted with some rich fresh compost at 

 their roots. When grown as standards, 

 they should be budded on the dog-rose ; 

 but they do best budded on short stems or 

 on their own roots, and pruned close. 



The following list gives a few of the best 

 moss roses, from Messrs. Paul and Sons' 

 catalogue. 



Angelique Quetier, pale lilac rose, one of the
