92 ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASOX. 



to the French and English growers make it very 

 desirable ; plants have not yet bloomed with us, 

 but will do so in March or April, 1844. It is de- 

 scribed as " grande double jaune, aussi fonce que 

 notre ancienne rose jaune, couleur unique encore 

 dans Pespece," or, in other words, " large double 

 yellow, of as bright a shade as our old yellow 

 rose ; colour as yet unique in the group of Noi- 

 settes." The English advertise it under the name 

 of "Cloth of Gold Noisette, with very large flowers 

 and fine bold stiff petals, withstanding the effects of 

 the sun, retaining its colour, a perfect yellow, equal 

 to the Yellow Harrison Rose." It is a seedling 

 from Noisette Lamarque, and very much of the 

 habit of its parent, with leaves more round, and 

 growth more robust. It is very rare, and sells at 

 twenty-five francs in France. Corymbosa was 

 flatteringly represented to be a superb snowy 

 white, of rampant growth, and a profuse bloomer. 

 I have never seen it deserving such a character, 

 being a shy bloomer, with twisted sickly looking 

 foliage. Clara Wendel is another rose having a 

 yellow shade to its flowers changing to white ; it is 

 of a dwarf habit, though the flowers are of the 

 largest size, and perfectly double. It first appeared 

 under the name of "Thea Clara Wendell." Chloris 

 has flowers of the medium size, double, of a dis- 

 tinct rosy lilac colour, and is a very fine dwarf
