HYBRID ROSES, OLD AND NEW. 149 



Edouard Hervi (E. Verdier, 1884). Rich crimson; large, full, 

 and of fine form ; fragrant, vigorous ; a promising rose. 



Gloire de Margottin (Margottni, 1887). Color dazzling scarlet, 

 very vigorous and remarkably free flowering; has a perfect elon- 

 gated bud ; will probably prove a good forcing rose. 



Grand Mogul (William Paul, 1887). A seedling from A. K. 

 Williams, with flowers of a deep and brilliant crimson, shaded with 

 scarlet and black ; large, full, and a free bloomer. It had a Cer- 

 tificate of Merit from the Ro^'al Horticultural Society, and is highly 

 commended abroad. 



Her Majesty (Bennett &, Evans, 1886). Clear bright satiny 

 rose ; the plant is a most vigorous grower, and when well estab- 

 lished will undoubtedly flower freel}'. Under glass it is more prone 

 to mildew than any other variety I have seen, but outside it is not 

 so much aflfected, and with its great vigor of growth may over- 

 come the tendency'. It will certainly make a good garden rose 

 from its vigor of growth, and when recovered from the effect of 

 excessive propagation may prove a great acquisition. 



Mile, de la SeiglUre (Maudion and E. Verdier, 1886). Color very 

 fresh and delicate silvery rose ; large, full, fine form, cupped 

 shape ; very vigorous, and a free bloomer ; a seedling from La 

 Reine. 



A Hybrid Rugosa, is described by its originator and vender as 

 follows : 



Mme. G. Bruant (Bruant). This is a new class and origi- 

 nated through the crossing of the single rugosa with Som- 

 breuil (Tea) . It flowers all the year through, and although the 

 foliage is of the rugosa kind the young shoots are purple. It 

 flowers in clusters of from sis to twelve blooms, which are large, 

 half full, and of a dazzling white color, very fragrant, and rather 

 pointed, like a Niphetos. 



Mme. Joseph Deshois (Guillot, 1886). Fleshy white, centre 

 delicate rosy salmon ; of very large size, very full and good shape, 

 and of vigorous growth ; raised from Baroness Rothschild and 

 Mme. Falcot. 



Mrs. Caroline Swailes (Swailes, 1884). Very delicate rosy- 

 flesh, — a beautiful pure color ; large and full. 



Mrs. John Laing, (Bennett & Evans, 1887). A seedling from 

 Fran9ois Michelon ; soft pink in color ; flowers large, of fine shape, 

 and very fragrant. It is of vigorous growth, flowers rather early,
