774 ROSA. 



THE ENGLISH FLOWER GARDEN. 



ROSA. 



people often despair of Roses. I feel 

 certain now that many of the kinds I have 

 lost, or that bloomed feebly and died out, 

 were the result of grafting, or arose from 

 the stock itself and conflict of the saps of 

 plants of quite different countries and 

 natures. To be quite fair to all these 

 beautiful Roses they should be tried in 

 both ways, and not for one year only :

 Niphetos, Rubens, Mme. Carnot, Vicom-

 Helfenbein, Mme. Hoste, Yvonne Gravier, 



the same Roses sometimes among the 

 Noisettes, sometimes among the Teas. 

 That matters little if we remember the 

 good ones, and of those I have grown and 

 found hardy and opening well, these are 

 the best : Lamarque, Celine Forestier, 

 Reve d'Or, Bouquet d'Or, L'Idcale, W. 

 A. Richardson, Mme. Alfred Carriere, 

 Gloire de Dijon, Mme. Berard, 

 Duchesse d'Auerstadt.

 are not at all perpetual ; but some varieties, 

 more especially some of our oldest Roses, 



Buds of Tea Rose, Anna Olivier.

CLIMBING ROSES OF THE TEA CHARAC- 

 TER. These are among the most precious 

 of all plants : that their origin is some- 

 what obscure is clear from our finding 



keep on blooming until November. 

 Amongst the old H.P. kinds one may 

 instance especially La France and Charles 

 Lefebvre, and amongst newer varieties, 

 Viscountess Folkestone and Victor Hugo 

 as true perpetuals ; whereas Mrs. John 

 . Laing, Margaret Dickson, Gabriel Luizet, 

 General Jacqueminot and many other 

 H.Ps. do not usually bloom after the 

 month of August. To this large class new 

 varieties are continually being added, from 

 which growers will select their favourite 

 shades of colour. It is best not to follow 

 any stereotyped selection, as frequently
