248 GARDEN CLASSIFICATION. 



Edouard Desfosses is a very beautiful cupped rose, of very 

 symmetrical shape. Its color is a bright rose. 



Emile Courtier is one of the finest roses of this group. Its 

 form is cupped, double and* perfect, and its color is deep rose. 



Enfant d'Ajaccio is a very robust growing rose, making 

 shoots twelve or fifteen feet long. As a pillar rose, or even a 

 climber, it is perhaps the best of this group. Its flower is double, 

 cupped, very fragrant, and of a brilliant scarlet crimson. 



George Cuvier is a very distinct rose, with cupped and ele- 

 gant flowers. Its color is a beautiful light cherry. 



Gloire de Rosamene is a rose of very luxuriant growth and 

 large foliage. It will make longer shoots in the same period than

 climber. It is an abundant bloomer, and its flowers are cupped,

Grand Capitaine is a fine cupped rose, with serrated foliage.

 this group. Its form is cupped, very double and perfect, and no

 well adapted, for grouping or for planting in beds with Mrs. Bo- 

 sanquet and Agrippina.

 and the very robust habit of the plant makes it a good pillar rose.

 Bourbons. Its foliage and habit, however, make it clearly a 

 Bourbon. 



Lavinie d'Ost is a large and very double variety, of a pale
