88 THE SUMMER ROSE GARDEN. 



Euphrasie," " Abelard sempervirens : " and pro- 

 bably under some other high-sounding appellations, 

 for it is a general favourite, and justly so, as it is 

 one of the most beautiful of roses. No plant can 

 be more lovely than a large specimen of this rose, 

 covered with its double ranunculus-like cream- 

 coloured flowers. It will not bloom if pruned 

 much ; therefore its shoots must be tied in their 

 full length, and thinned out if too numerous, but 

 not shortened. 



Jaunatre is a new variety, with yellowish-white 

 flowers. This is evidently hybridised with the 

 Musk or Noisette Kose, as it is fragrant. 



Melanie de Montjoie has large flowers of the 

 purest white, and foliage very abundant and beau- 

 tiful, of a shining dark green, contrasting finely 

 with its flowers. 



Myrianthes, sometimes called Eanunculacea, is 

 a charming plant : its flowers are so perfectly and 

 elegantly shaped, and their colour so delicate, 

 that, if not the most beautiful of all, it is one 

 among them. Plena is also known as Semper- 

 virens major, and as the Double White Noisette. 

 This is our oldest double variety, and a very good 

 rose. Princesse Louise and Princesse Marie* I 

 have found so much alike, that I have not entered 

 the latter in the catalogue, Princesse Louise is a 

 fine and vigorous-growing variety, with flowers 



* I have recently received the true Princesse Marie, a very 

 pretty rose-coloured rose.
