54 Roses for Amateurs 



required. Although \ve are advocates for comparatively light 

 pruning, combined with a due regulation ot growth at all 

 times, yet there are some of the most experienced who prune 

 somewhat severely. The two systems should be tried, and 

 whichever answers better should be followed. 



The following varieties in their different sections are 

 especially adapted for pot cultivation : 



Teas. 



AMAZONE. Golden-yellow, with elongated buds ; varies somewhat 

 but when well grown is a decided acquisition. 



ANNA OLIVIER. Rosy-flesh; base of petals, dark; a large, beauti- 

 fully-formed flower. 



BRIDESMAID. Bright pink, closely resembling CATHERINE MERMKT, 

 but deeper in colour. 



CATHERINE MERMET. A light, flesh-coloured Rose, of exquisite 

 shape ; a most lovely flower. 



COMTESSE DE NADAiLLAC. One of the most beautiful of Teas. It is 

 almost impossible to describe its exquisite colouring. It is a 

 flesh-coloured Rose, but with the most lovely tints of peach, 

 coppery-yellow, and apricot. It is, perhaps, not so free in 

 growth as some, but we have not found it delicate on a wall, 

 and we think, in pots, it is likely to be vigorous. 



DEVONIENSIS. An exquisite Rose, of English origin, white, with 

 yellow tint; large, full, and good. 



ETUILE DE LYON. Bright sulphur-yellow; splendid in form and 

 colour ; vigorous in growth. 



FRANCISCA KRUGER. Copper, shaded with yellow and rose ; good 

 shape. 



HON. EDITH C.IFFORD. White, tinted with rose in the way of 

 DEVONIENSIS, but distinct from it. 



INNOCENTE PIROJ.A. Very nearly white ; a beautiful flower ; free, 

 and of good habit. 



JEAN DUCHER. Large and full ; a very variable Rose in its colour- 

 ing yellow, sometimes shaded with salmon and rosy-peach. 



MME. CHEDANE GUINOISSEAU. Very bright yellow, beautiful colour 

 and form; small, and well adapted for a buttonhole flower. 



MME. CUSIN. Rosy-purple, with yellow base to each petal ; quite 

 distinct, and a very desirable Rose. 



MME. DE WATTEVILLE. Very distinct pale lemon, with distinct 

 margin of pink ; large, full, and free. 



MME. TALCOT. Apricot-yellow, with nice pointed buds ; excellent 

 for buttonholes. 



MME. HOSTE. Lemon-yellow ; large and full, of fine form ; and 

 free. 



MME. LAMBARD. A very beautiful Rose, varying much in colour, 

 from salmon to bright rose; very vigorous.
