large, full, well formed, good in bud, 

 almost without fragrance ; the buds do 

 not always open. A fine rose when 

 well grown, but it will never be useful 

 for ordinary cultivators. 



G. Paul, 1868. Raised from General 

 Jacqueminot. Bright crimson, large, 

 double flowers, little fragrance ; foliage 

 large and attractive. Occasionally this 

 is very fine early in the season, but the 

 flowers lack substance and durability of 

 color. It is more shy in the autumn 

 than the parent ; not to be commended 

 for general culture. 



G. Paul, 1880. Raised from Duke of 

 Edinburgh. Very bright crimson ; not 

 well tested in this country; we were 

 much pleased with it as seen at Ches- 

 hunt. 



Granger, 1864. Red, shaded with crim- 

 son. 



Moreau-Robert, 1880. Raised from Coun- 

 tess of Oxford. Carmine-red. 



Portemer, 1844. Raised from Emile 

 Courtier. Deep red, shaded with crim- 

 son ; hardy, non-autumnal. 



Jamain, 1868. Cherry-red, with a shade 

 of crimson ; large, double, well formed, 

 fragrant ; a good seed -bearer. Were 

 this more full, it would be a rose of the 

 first rank. 



See Rose du Roi. 



Christy, 1880. (Sent out by G. Paul.) 

 Cherry -rose, medium size, beautiful 

 form. 



A. Dickson & Sons, 1887. Rich brilliant 

 velvety-crimson, shaded with dark ma- 

 roon; large, full, finely formed; delight- 

 ful fragraqce. A vigorous grower. 



Lacharme, 1883. Fiery red, large, hand- 

 some, in the way of Charles Lefebvre. 



Cherry -rose, buds of good form, well 

 mossed ; darker than the Common or 

 Prolific, one of the best. Why this 

 rose has passed out of cultivation we 

 do not know ; there are but three in 

 the class as good.
