i8o THE ROSE, 



sent out a fine rose, which he called after 

 himself ; though he has been raising seedling 

 roses ever since, none of them have quite 

 come up to this in worth. Wood, light green ; 

 sharp, red thorns, somewhat numerous; 

 shoots rather stout and generally of vigorous 

 growth. Crimpled foliage. Flowers of large 

 size, very full, somewhat flat shape, mostly 

 shades of rose and carmine, almost without 

 perfume; generally free in the autumn. 

 They are very hardy ; as a rule difficult of 

 propagation from cuttings, but making very 

 vigorous plants when budded.
