GARDEN CLASSIFICATION. 245 



finely formed, and unusually fragrant. Its color is a deep crim- 

 son purple, and it is one of the best forcing roses. 



Prince of Wales is a remarkably vigorous and luxuriant 

 growing variety. In good soils it would make a fine pillar rose. 

 Its flowers are produced in very large clusters, and are of a bright 

 rose color tinted with lilac. 



Prudence Raeser is a very fragrant rose, blooming in large 

 and very beautiful clusters. Its flowers are cupped, finely formed, 

 and of medium size. Its color is pale rose with fawn centre. 

 Every shoot gives a cluster of flowers throughout the summer 

 and autumn, and it is well adapted for pillars. 



Reine de la Guillotiere is a free blooming rose, with 

 glossy foliage and brilliant crimson flowers. 



Rivers is one of the best cupped roses, blooming abundantly 

 all the autumn, and producing its large, crimson flowers in beau-

 Its form is cupped, and its color crimson, with a tinge of lilac. 



The directions for the culture of Remontant rose.^ are very

 preceding chapter. In order to ensure a perfect autumnal bloom,
