THE AUTUMNAL ROSE GARDEN. 167 



equal to either of the foregoing: its large and 

 deep-coloured globular flowers, of a deep rosy 

 purple, are beautiful at any time and in any 

 situation. Charles X. is a pretty rose in very 

 dry weather, but in moist weather its buds will 

 not open, neither will it live long as a standard, 

 never forming a proper union with the stock. 

 Castalie is a variety, of a delicate flesh-colour, 

 very distinct and pretty. 



Clarisse Harlowe is a piUar rose of first-rate 

 excellence ; its flowers are very large and double, 

 and its growth excessively vigorous, so that it 

 soon forms a large column. Fellenberg is a 

 Noisette well deserving of praise, if only for its 

 brilliant crimson. It is but a short time since a 

 bright crimson Noisette did not exist : this rose, 

 when grown luxuriantly, is a most charming plant. 

 Grandiflora is a very old rose, but mentioned here 

 that its synonymes may be given : as " Noisette 

 Lee," "Blush Perpetual China," and "Triomphe 

 des Noisettes." It has been extensively cultivated. 

 Hardy is a pillar Noisette, quite worth cultiva- 

 tion ; its large pale flowers have a deep rose and 

 buif centre; its habit is so vigorous that it will 

 shoot from six to eight feet in one season. Jaune 

 Desprez, or the new French Yellow Noisette, is a 

 well-known and much-esteemed rose : as a pillar 

 or a standard it is equally beautiful ; its fragrance 

 is also very remarkable. This was originated by 

 M. Desprez about fifteen years since, and is still,
