148 THE AUTUMNAL ROSE GARDEN. 



weather are so beautiful; a hot sun very soon 

 diminishes that excessive brilliancy of colour : this 

 is a fine rose, with flowers very double and per- 

 fect. Joseph Deschiens has rather small but 

 very double and perfect flowers of a reddish 

 crimson; this is a variety quite distinct, and 

 worth cultivation. Louis Philippe d' Angers, S., 

 is a good rose, which, having often been sent 

 from France as " Louis Philippe," has given rise 

 to several mistakes, as there is a Tea-scented rose 

 of this name, quite different in character, for 

 which this has been substituted. Madame Desprez 

 and Madame Bureau are both fine white roses, 

 yet distinct in their habit. Madame Desprez 

 is one of the largest white China Roses we pos- 

 sess. Marjolin is a fine dark crimson variety, 

 likely to prove one of our most popular roses ; but 

 it is proper to mention that there are two Marjo- 

 lins : this trick of giving the same name to two 

 roses raised by opposition cultivators is very pre- 

 valent in France, and opens a door to deception ; 

 the Marjolin described here is a fine and distinct 

 rose, robust and hardy, and likely to form a good 

 standard. Napoleon is a sterling good variety, 

 with large bell-shaped flowers of a fine bright pink. 

 Roi des Cramoisies, S., is a beautiful and bril- 

 liant rose, with flowers very double and nearly 

 scarlet. Rubens or Ruban pourpre is a new and 

 splendid rose from the Luxembourg Gardens : this 

 Is one of the finest shaded dark roses known.
