Margottin, 1868. Carmine-red, full fra- 

 grant. 



1868. Apricot-yellow. 



Dark crimson. Not valuable. 



Introduced to England from China in 

 1789. Rich crimson, specially valued 

 for its fine buds. A useful sort for 

 bedding out and for forcing. The best 

 of the class. 



Vibert, 1828. Raised from Sempervirens 

 Plena. Pure white, small, double 

 flowers, produced in large clusters ; 

 seven leaflets ; nearly hardy. 



Curtis, 1841. A sport from the above ; 

 identical with the old kind, except that 

 it is of stronger growth. These pretty 

 sorts are both difficult to propagate 

 from cuttings. 



Touvais, 1867. White, tinted with rose ; 

 foliage dark ; seven leaflets are common, 

 ery small, full flowers, delicately scent- 

 ed. 



E. Verdier. 1865. Pink, sometimes mot- 

 tled, medium size, double. Wood armed 

 with dark-brown thorns. 



Sarter, 1855. See Madame Bravy. 



Leveque, 1878. Bright rose. 



Cherry-red ; mildews easily; shy bloomer. 



Margottin, 1852. Cherry-red, rosette 

 shape, medium size ; foliage dark ; 

 wood armed with pale red thorns. 



Lacharme, 1865. Raised from General 

 Jacqueminot. Carmine-crimson ; large, 

 or very large, full ; of fine, globular 

 form, extremely fragrant; green wood, 

 with occasional pale green thorns, the 

 foliage large and handsome. A grand 

 rose ; the most useful, in its class, for 

 general cultivation. 



Laffay, 1855. Pink, small flowers, of 

 poor quality ; the wood is very thorny ; 

 straggling habit.
