1 84 THE ROSE. 



most charming white roses ; the flowers are 

 freely produced throughout June and the 

 summer months. The varieties belonging 

 to the type are Eliza Boelle, Madame Noman, 

 and Madame Oswald de Kerchove. 



MADAME A. DE ROUGEMONT TYPE. The 

 varieties of this type differ greatly from 

 those of the preceding. The habit of growth 

 is free or vigorous; the wood is smoother, 

 the foliage more oval and glaucous, like the 

 Bourbon roses ; the flowers are even more 

 freely produced than those of the other type, 

 but are inferior to them in quality. The 

 principal sorts are: Baronne de Maynard, 

 Coquette des Alpes, Coquette des Blanches, 

 Madame Auguste Perrin, Madame Francois 

 Pittet, Perfection des Blanches. 



GLOIRE DE DIJON TYPE. The head of this 

 family was sent out in 1853, and is the variety 

 from which most of the Climbing Teas have 

 sprung. Young plants of this type are often 

 difficult to start after being rooted from cut- 

 tings, but when well established grow lux- 

 uriantly. The parentage of Gloire de Dijon 

 is unknown, but I believe it must have orig- 

 inated from a natural cross between some 

 Bourbon and Noisette (Tea-scented) Rose. 

 The foliage shows much of the Bourbon 

 'character ; the flowers are of globular form,
