ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 51 



Gloire des Jardins is a large bright red, fully im- 

 bricated, and always perfectly double. Hortense 

 JBeauharnais, though described as Rose vif Ponc- 

 tuee, is not worthy of that distinction ; these faint 

 spots seen in it after close inspection, are too faint 

 to be deserving of notice. Hercules, if it had not 

 another quality but its delicious fragrance, should 

 be in every garden. Its flowers are large, and 

 bright red, expanding freely and fully double. 

 Isabel and Proliftre are the same; very double 

 pink, in clusters and in great profusion; one mass 

 of pretty pink flowers. Juliana is also a pretty 

 perfectly double pinkish red, one of those colours 

 that the eye delights to rest upon. King of Rome, 

 Ponceau Parfait, and Theodore de Crose; this 

 very fine and perfect rose, like many others of first 

 quality, has a plurality of names, and if it should 

 have as many more they will not darken its bright 

 red colour, nor disarrange its very perfect form. 

 La Favorite is a bright cherry red, of good habit. 

 La Negresse, not so black as its name implies, only 

 a very superb double crimson, very large, expanded, 

 and fully double. Madame Cottin, or Sophie Cot- 

 tin, is a very large bright rose, and a free bloomer. 

 Mohilida is a beautiful double pink, with a blush 

 edge, very pretty and profuse. Matilda is another 

 very handsome pink, and greatly admired; its 

 closely imbricated petals and profusion are great
