160 ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 



Queen of Perpetuals deserves its namej its flowers 

 open finely, of a pale rose colour, blooming freely all 

 the season, holding its place with Du Roi in every 

 character. Lodoiska Marin has been long esteemed 

 for its profusion of large pale flowers, blooming free- 

 ly, quite double, and in clusters, showing well in the 

 distance. Louise Puget^ pale rosy lilac, an excellent 

 grower, giving a profusion of bloom, very fragrant, 

 cup-shaped. Minerva^ [pale rose colour, very large 

 flower, with beautiful cupped petals, quite sweet scen- 

 ted. Mogador is a very dark crimson variety, fre- 

 quently shaded with purple, flowers finely rounded, of 

 cup-form. Alenstrualis, a very brilliant rose-coloured 

 variety, with expanded perfectly double flower, of 

 strong growth, and upright habit. Madam Triideaux 

 (Boll), an American sort of a dark violet purple 

 shade, large imbricated flowers produced in profusion, 

 and giving a fine autumnal bloom. Monstrueuse, or 

 Grande Belle, at first sight would be taken for Jean fie 

 Hachette, but it is darker in colour, and is not so large 

 as that variety ; it is also a strong grower, and will 

 train into any form as a standard. Olivier de Serves, 

 centre of the flower bright rose, circumference pale 

 blush, very beautiful and perfect ; foliage luxuriant. 

 Palmire, or Blush Perpetual, is still esteemed as a 

 free bloomer, and the colour is very desirable in this 

 class, which is very deficient in lisht colours. Port-
