E. Verdier, 1877. Carmine-red, medium 

 size, full, fragrant. 



Laxton, 1879. (Sent out by G. Paul.) 

 Raised from Madame Julie Daran. 

 Brownish-crimson, with a shade of vio- 

 let, very beautiful and distinct ; mil- 

 dews easily. 



E. Verdier, 1877. Red, medium size. 



Fontaine, 1868. Crimson, fragrant. 



A. Cook, 1871. Rosy-pink, medium size, 

 full, fragrant ; shy in autumn. 



1853. Light rose color, large, full, frag- 

 rant ; 5 leaflets ; useful for pillars. 



Lacharme, 1861. Claimed to have been 

 raised from General Jacqueminot X 

 Victor Verdier. Reddish-crimson, 

 sometimes with a shade of purple, very 

 velvety and rich, but fading quickly ; 

 large, full, thick petals, beautifully 

 formed. There are a few thorns of light 

 red ; the wood and foliage are of light 

 reddish-green. A splendid rose. 



Vlargottin, 1864. A seeding of Jules 

 Margottin. Fiery red, shaded with 

 crimson ; large, full flowers ; retains 



' the color well ; smooth, reddish wood, 

 armed with occasional red spines ; fo- 

 liage slightly crimpled. An excellent, 

 distinct rose, quite unlike the parent in 

 habit. It doubtless comes from a nat- 

 ural cross of some dark sort like Charles 

 Lefeb'ure on Jules Margottin. 



E. Verdier, 1865. Pale rose, well formed. 



'ernet, 1875. Carmine rose, not unlike 

 Bon Silene, from which variety, so far 

 as our observation goes, it differs only 

 in being inferior. 



Margottin, 1869. Crimson vermilion, 

 large, full flowers, flat form, resembling 

 General Washington: wood armed 

 with numerous dark-red thorns. A shy 

 bloomer.
