HYBRID ROSES, OLD AND NEW. 145 



Mons E. Y. Teas (E. Verdier, 1874). Very bright red; per- 

 fect form, a beautiful rose, but a bad plant to move. 



Mrs. Harry Turner (Turner, 1880). Crimson scarlet, with 

 rich maroon shading ; of fine habit and form ; plant not the best 

 of growers. 



Paul Neron (Levet, 1869). Deep rose; flowers of enormous 

 size ; beautiful foliage ; a very strong grower with green, thornless 

 wood. A free autumn bloomer, forces well, but is seldom worthy 

 of a place in an exhibition stand. 



Pierre Notting (Portemer, 1863). Deep crimson, shaded violet; 

 very large and full ; very fragrant, but requires fine weather for 

 perfect development. The flower is heavy petalled, and the color 

 is so delicate that it scorches very quickly in the sun, and conse- 

 quently is seldom seen in exhibitions. 



Prince de Portia (E. Verdier, 1865) . Bright shaded vermilion ; 

 very showy, not very free, but a strong grower. 



Senateur Va'isse (Guillot, 1859). Bright scarlet crimson ; large, 

 double, and of fine form ; a free bloomer, moderate grower, and 

 still one of the best. 



William Worden (Mitchell, 1879). Pure pink, a light sport 

 from Mme. Cl^mence Joigneaux ; fine foliage ; forces well. 



Xavier Olibo (Lacharme, 1864) . Velvety black, shaded amar- 

 anth ; large and full, but, like many of this color, a very poor 

 grower. 



4. Globular, High Centre. 



Alfred Colomb (Lacharme, 1865). Bright red ; verj* large, full, 

 free blooming and fragrant. A grand rose, one of the best of our 

 whole list ; a good grower and fine exhibition flower. 



Duke of Edinburgh (Paul & Son, 1868). Very bright ver- 

 milion ; extra large and full ; vigorous, with smooth wood ; at its 

 best a grand exhibition flower. 



Duke of Teck (Paul & Son, 1880). Bright crimson scarlet, a 

 very bright color ; flower not of the largest size, but a good show 

 rose ; plant vigorous, with smooth wood. 



Lady Sheffield (Postans, 1881). Bright rosy cherry; petals 

 large, fine shape. 



Marquise de Castellane (Pernet, 1869). Clear cherry rose; 

 very large, full, globular form ; a free bloomer, a ver^' strong 

 grower, with thorny wood ; a reliable exhibition rose, and a good 

 forcing kind.
