HYBRID ROSES, OLD AND NEW. 141

 ted. Delicate bright rose, distinct in color; free blooming, good 

 in the autumn. 



Eclair (Lacharme, 1883). Vivid fiery red ; in the way of

 if it proves free enough, a great acquisition.

 shading ; large and double, first-rate when "caught" right, but

 large and full, free ; one of the earliest to flower ; good in the 

 autumn. The plant is a strong grower with very thorny wood.
