92 THE SUMMER ROSE GARDEN. 



great Parisian Rose amateur, gave his name to the 

 group, by the first double variety, the Red, being 

 named after him. Blush, or Boursault Florida, 

 Calypso, White Boursault, Bengale Florida, Rose 

 de Lisle, &c., for it is known by all these names, 

 is a beautiful rose, and when trained up a pillar 

 its large and delicately-coloured flowers have a fine 

 effect ; the Tea-scented Roses budded on this rose 

 bloom in great perfection. Crimson, or Amadis, 

 is also a very fine pillar rose ; its clusters of large, 

 deep purple and crimson flowers are inclined to 

 be pendulous, consequently they have a fine effect 

 when on a tall pillar. Drummond's Thornless is 

 now an old variety, but it produces such a pro- 

 fusion of bright red flowers, that it ought to be in 

 every collection of climbing roses. Elegans is a 

 most beautiful vivid-coloured rose ; its purple and 

 crimson flowers are often striped with white : this 

 has a long succession of bloom, as it is one of the 

 earliest and latest of summer roses. Gracilis is a 

 hybrid, of the most vigorous growth in good soils, 

 often making shoots ten to twelve feet long in one 

 season ; unlike the other varieties of this division, 

 its shoots are covered with thorns. Nothing can 

 be more graceful than the luxuriant foliage of this 

 plant; it has also finely-cupped flowers, of the 

 most vivid rose-colour, and must be reckoned a 

 beautiful and desirable rose. Inermis, or Bour- 

 sault Pleine, is a pretty variety, with flowers of 

 a bright red, and a fine and luxuriant grower.
