4-3 ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 



white striped with pink, but it may be expected 

 (like many other striped roses) to produce flowers 

 pure white or pink. I have often seen the old White 

 Moss have one-half the flower white, and the other 

 half pink. Sab'ed is only half double, of a bright 

 rose colour, freque'ntly spotted with red. SoJis Sepales 

 is flesh coloured, the edges of the petals pale rose, 

 affording a very distinct variety. The White Bath^ 

 or Clifton 3Ioss, is pure white, of rather delicate 

 growth, and rather deficient in the "mossy coat" so 

 much admired in this tribe. If it had the beauty, 

 while in bud, of the old moss, it would be an invalu- 

 able acquisition; it is said to have originated from^ a 

 sportive branch of the common Moss Eose. in Eng- 

 land, about thirty-five years ago, when it first " came 

 out," it brought in the guineas at a great rate. Prin- 

 cess Addaide^ is a hybrid variety of great luxuriance — 

 growing six to eight ie^i in a season, producing its 

 ver}^ perfect rosy blush flowers, in large clusters, and 

 is generally known as the Borhon Moss. Laffay^s 

 Perpetual White Moss, or the Quatre Saisons Mous- 

 seux of the French, is pure white, and is very pretty 

 when in bud, which it produces in clusters. The 

 expanded rose has no attraction, but the profusion 

 amply makes up for this ; if grown in rich free soil it 

 produces flowers the whole season ; in such a soil I 

 have a plant no^v (August) entirely covered with
