April. "\ HYBRID ROSES. 65 



Lady Stuart, flesh colour, the form of the flowers before ex- 

 pansion is perfectly spherical, and of exceeding beauty. 



Louis Philippe, very splendid dark rose, a strong grower, 

 superb. 



Parny or La tourterelle, lilac or dove colour, cupped and 

 very double, requires to grow to a largs bush before 

 its beauty of form and profusion of bloom can be 

 seen. 



Princess, delicate rose, globular and perfectly double, and 

 makes an excellent standard of itself, not being very 

 subject to make shoots from the root. 



Prolifere, dark rosy crimson, changing to violet, very perfect 

 form, a dwarf. 



Triomphe de Laffay, rosy white, large and very beautiful. 



Victor Hugo, changeable rosy violet. 



Violet de Belgique, dark violet crimson, very profuse and 

 perfect. 



"Watts' Celestial, Celestial Wells' Callage China, Flora, per- 

 fccta, &c. (it is known under all these names), delicate 

 rose, petals finely cupped, flower rather flat, is a free 

 grower, and very profuse of bloom. 



Wellington (Lee's), rich purple crimson, flower beautifully 

 formed ; globular and very double. The first view of 

 it is similar to Bizarre de la Chine ; but it is very 

 distinct in growth, and the colour fades much sooner 

 than in the latter rose, and, indeed, is never so bright 



Tilliam the Fourth, blush red, extremely large, very perfect 

 form, and is unquestionably a hybrid from the Cab- 

 bage Provins, and makes an excellent standard or tea 

 rose.

Bandeur, Sandeur Panachce, of the French, and Khg oj 

 Hybrids of the English, bright rose colour, beautifully 

 -spotted and striped with white, very double, and of 

 perfect form luxuriant in growth, and the shoots 

 must never be shortened we have seen it several 

 years in perfect bloom.
