TYPICAL ROSES. 181 



formed flowers. The varieties are of moder- 

 ate growth, with smoother wood than most 

 dark roses; the foliage, too, is more round 

 and of a deeper green. Anicet Bourgeois 

 (new), E. Y. Teas, Madame Adelaide Cote 

 (new), Madame Victor Verdier, and Mrs. 

 Laxton are members of this group. 



CHARLES LEFEBVRE TYPE. Lacharme in- 

 troduced Charles Lefebvre in 1861. He be- 

 lieves that it is the result of a cross (I infer 

 by natural agencies) between Victor Verdier 

 and General Jacqueminot ; it certainly shows 

 many of the characteristics of these two sorts. 

 The wood and foliage are light green ; oc- 

 casionally armed with pale red thorns, but as 

 a rule the wood is very smooth. The flowers 

 are more waving in outline than any of the 

 other families ; the habit of growth is free, 

 intermediate between Victor Verdier and 

 General Jacqueminot. Glory of Cheshunt, 

 Harrison Weir, Henry Bennett, Madame 

 Anna de Besobrasoff, Marguerite Brassac, 

 Paul Jamain, President Leon de St. Jean, and 

 W. Wilson Saunders are marked members of 

 this type. Dr. Andry, Horace Vernet, Lord 

 Macaulay, Mrs. Harry Turner, Rev. W. H. 

 Stomers and Souvenir du Dr. Jamain, also 

 seem to find a place in this group.
