OLD AND NEW ROSES. 213 



less numerous and with more of a yellowish 

 hue. The flowers are more globular, stand 

 the sun better, and are much more freely 

 produced, constituting a most valuable 

 family. The varieties are A. K. Williams, 

 Fisher Holmes, and Wilhelm Koelle. 



The Duke of Edinburgh, sent out by 

 George Paul in 1868, is the only English rose 

 which may be regarded as the founder of a 

 family. The flowers are inclined to be 

 thinner in petal than those of the Jacquemi- 

 not type, rather smaller, burn much more 

 quickly in the sun, and are not constant in 

 autumn. It is a very beautiful family when 

 grown in a moist, cool climate ; but there are 

 few of the members that will do well under 

 our hot sun. The varieties best known, 

 mostly of recent origin, are, Brightness of 

 Cheshunt, Dr. Hooker, Duke of Connaught, 

 Duke of Teck, Robert Marnock, S. Reynolds 

 Hole, Sultan of Zanzibar, and The Shah. 



Baroness Rothschild is the typical repre- 

 sentative of a small but very beautiful family, 

 the very aristocracy of roses. It is not a 

 new rose, but its merits have not been recog- 

 nized till within a few years. Now that the 

 florists have finally taken it for winter forc- 

 ing, it is becoming well known, but it will 

 always command comparatively high prices.
