When well grown under glass, few roses 

 equal Souvenir de la Malmaison for its deli- 

 cate refined beauty, and the delicious attar-of- 

 rose fragrance exhaled by its flesh-colored pet- 

 als a fragrance observable in a less degree in

 its splendid yellow full-blown flower, and its 

 highly Tea-scented perfume ; but it is unfortu- 

 nately limited to a single lode of gold during 

 the season. With regard to odors, great vari- 

 ety exists among the different kinds some 

 recalling a luscious fruit in their particular 

 fragrance, others exhaling a spicy aroma, and 

 others still comparable to nothing else but 

 the pure uncloying odor of the Rose itself.
