THE AUTUMNAL ROSE GARDEN. 131 



with lilac. Like some others in this class, barren 

 shoots are often produced in the autumn. William 

 Jesse is a large and superb rose, crimson, with 

 lilac tinge. This is certainly one of the most 

 beautiful very large roses that exists ; its flowers 

 always open freely : like the preceding, every 

 shoot does not give flowers, but with good culture 

 it will bloom well in the autumn. Prudence 

 Rasser is a hybrid noisette, blooming in large 

 clusters, of exceeding beauty, and highly fragrant. 

 As a standard, or as a pillar rose, this variety is 

 peculiarly adapted ; its flowers, not full-sized, are 

 of a pale rose, with fawn-coloured centre, and 

 elegantly shaped; every shoot, whether in summer 

 or autumn, seems to give its terminal cluster of 

 flowers. Among those roses that open freely, 

 none are more beautiful than Comte d'Eu ; it is, 

 strictly speaking, a double dwarf Gloire de Roso- 

 mene, from which it was raised. This is a brilliant- 

 coloured and fine variety. Reine de Lyon is also 

 a new and fine rose, with erect habit, and very 

 double dark crimson flowers, of the same fragrance 

 as the Provence Rose. Due d'Aumale is a new 

 and very erect-growing variety, with brilliant 

 crimson flowers of much beauty. To the above 

 free-flowering and free-opening roses, may be 

 added Louis Bonaparte, Comte de Paris, Julie 

 Dupont, Lady Alice Peel, Dr. Marjolin, and 

 Augustine Mouchelet. The following are varieties 

 of first-rate excellence, but cannot be recommended
