36 ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 



seen worth cultivating, was grown by a Mr. Har- 

 rison, near New York, about twenty years ago, and 

 is evidently a seedling from the Yellow Austrian; its 

 growth, after being well established, is quite luxu- 

 riant, often making shoots six feet long in one 

 season. The wood is of a dark reddish brown 

 colour, with strong straight thorns, the foliage 

 small, of a dark rich green ; the flowers open of a 

 beautiful globular form, and appear like as many 

 golden balls ; when open they are about two inches 

 in diameter, and nearly double, blooming very early 

 in the season, and in great profusion; it seeds rather 

 sparingly, but will no doubt produce many fine 

 varieties. It delights in a good deep loamy soil, 

 although it may grow in any soil or exposure; 

 seeds saved from it should be sown and protected 

 with the greatest care, and at no distant period 

 we may anticipate, from this very plant, yellow 

 roses possessing all the requisites of colour and 

 form that the amateur can desire. The pruning 

 must be done very sparingly; if the plant gets 

 crowded, thin out the branches ; the overgrown and 

 straggling shoots can be shortened to any required 

 length.
