ON ROSES 317 



GOOD HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



The reader may wonder whether the Roses named in 

 the foregoing list of fragrant varieties are good in other 

 respects whether they are strong growers and have 

 handsome flowers. They are excellent in every way. 

 Such varieties as Hugh Dickson, Mrs. John Laing, and 

 Charles Lefebvre are splendidly vigorous, and, with 

 Alfred Colomb, Prince Arthur, Duke of Wellington, 

 A. K. Williams, Ulrich Brunner, and others, are quite 

 good enough for exhibition. The following newer sorts 

 may be added to them : 



Bent Cant, rich red. Mrs. Cocker, pink. 



Comtesse de Ludre, light red. Mrs. R. G. Sharman Crawford, 



David R. Williamson, rose. pink. 



Duke of Edinburgh, scarlet. Rosslyn, pink. 



Earl of Dufferin, maroon. Susanne Marie Rodocanachi 



Frau Karl Druschki, white. rose. 



Helen Keller, cerise. Ulster, salmon rose. 



Lady Overtown, pink. Victor Hugo, crimson. 



M. H. Walsh, crimson. Xavier Olibo, dark crimson, 



Madame G. Luizet, bright pink, late bloomer. 



GOOD HYBRID TEA ROSES. 



The same question and answer as that put in con- 

 nection with the Hybrid Perpetual Roses might be 

 applied to the Hybrid Teas. The following may be 

 added to those in the list of specially fragrant sorts : 



Augustine Guinoisseau, silvery Dean Hole, carmine with sal- 

 pink mon shading. 

 Avoca, crimson. Earl of Warwick, salmon pink. 

 Bessie Brown, cream. Ecarlate, scarlet. 

 Betty, coppery rose. Edu Meyer, coppery red, orange
