162 ROSES THAT BLOOM THE WHOLE SEASON. 



■ual does not bloom so constantly as we might expect 

 from the name ; yet it gives occasional clusters of 

 flowers of nearly a white colour, during the summer 

 months ; its foliage, too, is very distinct from any of 

 those named ; it has more of the brier character, and 

 is very similar in growth to the old Scotch Rose. 

 Stanwell is an English variety ; a true Perpetual, 

 blooming profusely and constantly the whole summer, 

 till late in the season. Its habit is also like a Scotch 

 Rose, with large double pale blush flowers of exquisite 

 fragrance. 



It will be observed that this family, like the Bour- 

 bons and Remontantes, does not contain a genuine 

 striped variety, so that the hybridizer and amateur 

 have yet a large and neAv field open to their opera- 

 tions. We would suggest that Rose du Roi Striee 

 and Blanche Vibert, together with Du Roi and the 

 White Monthly Damask be fertilized j these seed 

 abundantly, and with the culture we have recom- 

 mended, the seedlings will bloom in three years. 

 Some have advanced that the finest roses from seed 

 are always the longest in flowering, when there is 

 any tardiness observed, a few buds can be put into 

 stocks, which will hasten their inflorescence.
