ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 105 



above the ground, on the Dog Rose or French 

 Eglantine ; but the strong growing kinds- should 

 never be budded for standards ; they make strag- 

 gling heads, and never come to such perfection 

 as when on their own roots. To grow Noisette 

 Roses from seed is a very easy process, and its 

 failure or success can be ascertained in two years, 

 generally in one. The best varieties for the pur- 

 pose are Lamarque, Camellia Rouge, Cora L. 

 Barton, Solfatare, and Fellenberg; these planted 

 together, and assisted by art, will produce many dis- 

 tinct varieties, and will fully repay all the trouble 

 and patience bestowed upon them. If it is required 

 to have them of a darker shade than any of these, 

 pollen can be applied from any of the dark flower- 

 ing Bengal or Bourbon Roses. Of the latter, Gloire 

 de Rosamond will give great brilliancy of colour, 

 and is very suitable for the purpose, as it already 

 partakes of the Noisette habit. From these sug- 

 gestions many others may arise to the mind of the 

 operator, and if acted upon, the results may go 

 beyond anticipation.
