Bennett, 1879. Raised from President 

 X Duchesse de Vallombrosa (H.R.) 

 Silvery-rose; of large, globular form ; 

 full, highly scented. Resembles La 

 France, but the flowers are more circu- 

 lar, the foliage larger and better. It 

 retains its globular form, the petals re- 

 curving to a less extent ; but La France 

 is, notwithstanding, much the better 

 sort. 



R. B. Postans. 1879. (Sent out by W. 

 Paul & Son.) Belongs to the Victor 

 Verdier type. Cherry-red ; very good. 



Dunand, 1874. (Given by the raiser to 

 Schwartz, by nim sold to Henry Ben- 

 nett, who sent it out.) Belongs to Jules 

 Margottin type. Pink, not valuable. 



Nabonnand. 1874. (Sent out by Veitch.) 

 Raised from Souvenir de David 

 d'A ngers. A Bengal with Tea blood. 

 Crimson, turning lighter as the bud ex- 

 pands : of good size, moderately full. 



Margottin, 1861. (Sent out by Wood.) 

 Rosy-red, medium size, cup-shaped ; a 

 shy bloomer, and not valuable. 



Laffay, 1840. Rosy-pink, large, full; shy 

 in autumn. 



Bennett, 1879. Raised from President X 

 Marquise de Castellane. Satiny- 

 pink, shaded with rose, sometimes the 

 color is carmine-rose ; large, full flowers, 

 with a faint Tea odor. The flowers 

 are apt to be irregular and not of good 

 finish, the buds are generally good. 

 Subject to mildew. 



W. Paul & Son, 1882. Crimson. 



G. Paul, 1875. Deep, velvety-crimson, 

 with a fiery flush ; medium size, full, 

 well formed ; burns badly, very shy in 

 autumn. In England this is one of the 

 finest dark roses ; we have seen it in 

 grand form at the raiser's, but it has no 

 value for out-door culture in this coun- 

 try. 



Bennett, 1879. Raised from President 

 X Louis Van Houtte. Rosy -crimson,
