156 THE AUTUMNAL ROSE GARDEN. 



proves robust and hardy, and one of the best 

 yellow Tea Roses known. Reve du bonheur is a 

 singularly beautiful tinged rose, forming a fine 

 large cup, but not very double. Silene is a 

 robust and hardy variety, with large shaded red 

 and blush flowers, very double : this will make a 

 fine standard, and grow in any situation. Strombio 

 is now an old rose, but no variety can be more de- 

 serving of cultivation; when growing on a standard, 

 its large and pendulous cream-coloured flowers are 

 quite beautiful. Taglioni is a full sized, fine 

 white rose, shaded with blush towards its centre, 

 and a hardy and good variety. Triomphe du 

 Luxembourg has made some noise in Paris; in 

 the autumn of 1835 it was sold at thirty or forty 

 francs per plant ; it does not bloom quite so fine 

 in this country as in France, but under any cir- 

 cumstances it is a fine and distinct variety : its 

 colour is rose very peculiarly tinged with yel- 

 lowish buff. The yellow Tea or yellow China 

 Rose, for they are one and the same, is placed 

 here, as it has decidedly more of the habit and 

 appearance of the Tea-scented Rose than of the 

 China: its smooth glossy leaves and faint odour 

 of tea sufficiently show its affinity. 



To these some new varieties of extraordinary 

 beauty have been added, among which Elisa 

 Sauvage, a fine straw-coloured rose, of rather a 

 deeper tinge than the Yellow Tea, with flowers 

 very large and double, richly deserves cultivation.
