ROSES IN GENERAL CULTIVATION. 47 



which to bud Teas, or Hybrids from the 

 Teas, of any that I am acquainted with, sur- 

 passing that excellent stock and parent 

 variety, Lamarque. I should advise all per- 

 sons who wish to grow Tea Roses, under 

 glass, planted in borders, to put out plants of 

 Solfaterre, and on these, after they have 

 made sufficient growth, to bud all but the 

 vigorous growing Teas. Marechal Niel and 

 all the Gloire de Dijon type of Teas are im- 

 proved by being worked on this stock. Be- 

 ing much less hardy than the Common Brier, 

 it would not be so good a foster-parent for 

 the Teas which are worked out of doors, but 

 under glass I know of nothing equal to it. 

 Lamarque is a superior old white rose, which 

 has somewhat gone out of cultivation; but 

 this should not be, for it retains the cluster- 

 ing tendency of the race and produces an 

 immense quantity of flowers during the 

 season. It is a noble rose. Nearly all the 

 fine Tea-Noisettes are traced back to Lamar- 

 que. Besides those already named, we have 

 Celine Forestier, Mme. Caroline Kuster, 

 Triomphe de Rennes, and W. A. Richardson, 

 all fine yellow roses, of healthy habit and 

 easy of cultivation. 



The Polyantha Remontant Rose (Rosa Poly- 

 anthd) was brought from Japan about the year
