ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 97 



nificent plants that have been grown from it, al- 

 though cherished and nurtured in my city garden. 

 Landreth's Carmine, or Carmine Cluster, is of 

 a very distinct carmine colour, quite double, flow- 

 ering profusely from July to late in the season ; its 

 first buds do not open well, but it is well adapted 

 for a southern climate ; it was grown from seed by 

 the Messrs. Landreth nearly twenty years ago. Le 

 Pactole, Thea Pactole, Thea Chrysanthime flora, 

 and New Yellow Tea; this distinct variety has only 

 been known a few years, yet it is distinguished by 

 all these names ; the flowers are of a pale sulphur 

 yellow, changing to a yellowish- white, as soon as 

 they are exposed to the full rays of the sun; the 

 plant is of a dwarf habit, and will make shoots 

 two feet long, surmounted by twenty to forty 

 flowers; it is no doubt a seedling between the 

 Yellow Tea and Lamarque. Lee, Monstrosa, 

 Coelestis, Grandiflora, Triomphe des Noisettes, 

 and Carassana; this plant is shamefully circu- 

 lated under all these names, and gives additional 

 proof that names are more numerous than varie- 

 ties ; it is a good old rose, of a blush colour, pro- 

 ducing its flowers in large thin clusters, and opening 

 very well in warm dry weather, but in moist sea- 

 sons it does not expand freely, and may be called 

 hard-headed; it is a strong grower, an4 is best 

 appropriated for a fence or arbour. Ltitea, or
