THE AUTUMNAL EOSE GARDEN. 171 



the most brilliant and beautiful of yellow roses.> 

 with petals thick and waxy, bearing exposure to 

 the hottest sun without fading. In habit it is very 

 robust, bearing in this respect much resemblance 

 to Jaime Desprez ; its leaves are large, shining, 

 and the whole plant, when in luxuriant growth, 

 most beautiful. While rare, as at present, it would 

 not be prudent to expose it during the winter in 

 the open border ; a south wall will probably be 

 the best situation for it, as it seems to delight in 

 heat ; but when more abundant it may doubtless

 so globular as the preceding, but rather flat, like 

 those of Jaune Desprez ; colour pale lemon, leaves 

 more pointed and narrow, like those of its parent. 

 This is a rose of much beauty, and of the same 

 robust habit as N. Cloth of Gold ; with regard to 

 treatment, it will be advisable, at present, to plant 

 it against a south wall, till its capability of bear- 

 ing our winters is tested.

 called Pourpre de Tyr. Its flowers, however, are 

 not of Tyrian purple, but brilliant crimson, large, 

 and very double. The habit of the plant is ex- 

 ceedingly robust. Foliage large, dark green, and
