April.'] NOISETTE ROSES. 77 



nothing of the kind is required. It must be kept in mind 

 that pillar- roses can scarcely have too much manure when 

 planting, and they also require a regular annual dressing of 

 some enriching material. We consider the annexed list in- 

 dispensable to a flower-garden. The flower of a Noisette 

 Rose varies from one to four inches in diameter in the follow- 

 ing descriptions ; we take two inches as our standard : 



Alba, white, a beautiful dwarf with small flowers ; but in the 

 greatest profusion, and the whole bush is frequently 

 like one bouquet. 



Aimee Vibert, unique or Rosa nevia, showy white, very com- 

 pact and perfectly double, and, if well treated, is one 

 of the finest white dwarf Noisette Roses, and is a pro 

 fuse autumnal bloomer. 



Augusta. This famed $5.00 Rose appears to me to be our 

 old Solfatare, or a reproduction of it. 



Bologne, dark crimson, compact form, dwarf habit. 



Bengal Lee, Noisette Lee, Blush perpetual China, ccelestis, 

 grandiflora, monstrosa, and Triornphe des Noisettes, 

 are all one and the same rose, blush or creamy white, 

 very double, of strong growth, and flowers in large 

 clusters; it is a good old rose, and fortunate in new 

 names. 



Conque de Venus, creamy white, with darker centre, very 

 compact and double ; blooms in large clusters, and is 

 delightfully scented, a regular good article. 



Champneyana or Champney's pink cluster, light pink, a ram- 

 pant grower, profuse bloomer, and universally culti- 

 vated. 



Charles the Tenth, rosy purple, very double, and in dry 

 weather blooms well, but in moist weather its buds 

 do not open ; is an excellent rose in a southern lati- 

 tude. 



Coeurjaune and Coeur sou/re are like yellowish-white, a hardy 

 rose of strong growth, and profusion of flowers. 



Cloth of Gold, or chromatella deep sulphur yellow, very 

 large flower, cupped and fine fragrant. 



Cora L. Barton, fine rosy pink, very large flower, a profuse 

 bloomer, fragrant. 



Euphroeyne, rosy buff", inclining to yellow, very fragrant a 

 very profuse blooming variety of medium growth.
