Moreau-Robert, 1859. Salmon-rose, often 

 richly mottled ; a free bloomer, moder- 

 ately hardy, best in the open air ; the 

 buds are very beautiful, even though 

 of variable shades. Certainly one of 

 the most useful tea roses. 

 Jennett, 1879. From Madame de St. 

 Joseph X Lord Macaulay. Red, 

 shaded with violet-crimson, large, full 

 flowers, and good, pointed buds ; often 

 comes malformed ; highly scented, a 

 combination of the perfumes found in 

 the parent varieties ; the wood is nearly 

 smooth, the foliage is large, dark, and 

 handsome. The color is not deep 

 enough, and is too sullied to make this 

 of value for winter-forcing, 

 iuillot fils, 1866. Crimson, illumined 

 with scarlet, large, double ; of beauti- 

 ful wavy outline ; nearly smooth wood, 

 of delicate constitution. Few roses 

 have such lovely form as this. 

 Ducher. 1871. Rose color, back of petals 

 a washed-out pink ; a coarse, poor sort. 

 Moore, 1892. See Bridesmaid. 

 Laffay. Pale sulphur-yellow, large, full. 

 Madame Ducher, 1875. Pale yellow, 



double. 



Beluze, 1855. Silvery-rose, medium size, 

 full, fragrant; a good variety, and would 

 be very useful had we not La France. 

 Subject to mildew ; shows Bourbon 

 character. 



Madame Ducher, 1878. Clouded white, 

 medium size, full, well-formed buds. 

 In the style of Niphetos, but is inferior 

 to it in all respects save mere vigor of 

 growth. 



Cels, 1838. Creamy-white ; once a popu- 

 lar sort. 



Andrew Gray, 1854. Raised from Cloth 

 of Gold. Golden-yellow ; has the good 

 and bad qualities of the parent. 

 Rev. James M. Sprunt, D.D., 1865. 

 (Sent out by Isaac Buchanan.) A sport 

 from Safrano. Sulphur -yellow, very 

 beautiful in the bud. Well known as 

 one of the most useful kinds.
