16 ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 



climes, they retain it during winter, and there grow 

 and bloom in profuse wreaths or garlands, making 

 them objects of great attraction in their season. 

 They are in colour generally pale, making a de- 

 cided contrast with the Boursault family. They 

 grow rapidly, and are well adapted for arches, 

 grottos, rockwork, pillars, or trellises. The foliage 

 is of a peculiarly bright shining green. Adelaide 

 d? Orleans has flowers of a pale rosy blush, very 

 double and perfectly formed, in large clusters, 

 valuable for blooming later than any of what are 

 termed June Roses. Donna Maria, and Princess 

 Maria, appear to be the same, or so nearly alike, that 

 a distinction cannot be even faintly drawn. Flowers 

 nearly white. Felicite Perpetuelle has been re- 

 cognized under many names in Europe, but it is 

 believed to be pure here : it is a very perfect rose, 

 beautifully cupped, of a creamy-white colour, and 

 when well grown makes a magnificent pyramid. 

 Myrianthes is of the most regular form, being 

 very double, and imbricated to the centre ; a plant 

 covered with its delicate rosy coloured flowers is a 

 charming object. It has been sftd (as its name 

 imports) as a Noisette, blooming all the season, a 

 character which it never merited, never had, and 

 never will have. Sempervirens Pleno, a pure 

 white, is our oldest variety, perfectly double, and 

 a very desirable rose ; it is the parent of Noisette
