new variety ; but as it is between the China and 

 Provence rose, which is a species of hybridisation 

 not very common, it is interesting ; it forms a very 

 fine standard. Due de Choiseul ponctuee, or the 

 spotted, is a most distinct and pretty variety, a 

 hybrid between the China and Provence rose ; it 

 is so nearly allied to the latter, that in the cata- 

 logue it is placed with the Provence roses: this 

 makes long and slender shoots, and is well adapted 

 for a standard. Daphne is a hybrid Bourbon, and 

 one of the most beautiful of roses: it has the 

 brilliant colour of that interesting group, and the 

 fine foliage, but its flowers are much more double 

 than the generality of Bourbon roses. Dr. Guepin 

 is a most perfect shaped, globular rose, quite 

 distinct in its character : this, with a few others, 

 which will be noticed in their turn, have beautiful 

 spherical-shaped flowers, singular and pleasing. 

 Eugene Barbet is also one of these finely formed 

 roses, with dark purplish crimson flowers of first- 

 rate excellence. Elizabeth Fry is a hybrid 

 Noisette, blooming in large clusters, a most 

 brilliant and pleasing rose. Fulgens, or the Malton 

 rose, is certainly one of the most brilliant and 

 beautiful of roses ; the entire plant is also worthy 

 of admiration, independent of its magnificent 

 globular scarlet flowers, as its foliage is so abun- 

 dant, and so finely tinted with red ; its branches 

 so vigorous, and yet spreading so gracefully, that 

 it forms one of the very finest of standard roses.
