GARDEN CLASSIFICATION. 265 



it. was applied. With this uncertainty, therefore, as evinced by 

 Rivers in his work, and with doubts of the hybridity of supposed 

 hybrids, we deem it better to class them all together ; and, 

 for the benefit of those who may prefer the old classification, 

 to attach to each name the class by which it has been hitherto 

 known. 



We write principally for the amateur, and we think he will find 

 it less embarrassing to make a selection from the new than the 

 old classification. 



A great number of Garden Roses will be found in the list at 

 the end of the work, and we describe here only a few distinct 

 varieties, with colors which are seldom found among the Re- 

 montants. 



Bachelierd, is a Belgian rose, of cupped and compact shape. 

 It is rose-colored, large, and very double. 



Blanchefleur, H. p., is a beautiful cupped white rose, of 

 perfect symmetry. 



BouLA de Nanteuil, F., is one of the best. Its large and 

 finely cupped flowers are very double, and their color crimson- 

 purple. 



Brennus, H. C, is a superb pillar rose, growing ten feet in a 

 season. If not too much pruned, it will produce an abundance 

 of crimson flowers, of great brilliancy. 



Cerise Superbe, F., is one of the best summer roses, of a 

 brilliant cherry red. It is cupped, double, and very beautiful. 



ChenIidole, H, C, is one of the most splendid roses, and is 

 truly beautiful. Its foliage and habit are very good, and its very 

 luxuriant growth makes it a good pillar rose. Its flower is cup- 

 ped, large, double, and fragrant, and its color is a rich, glowing 

 crimson, of almost dazzling brilliancy. It is altogether the most 

 desirable rose of this class. 



Coupe d'Hebe, H. B., is a very beautiful and symmetrical rose, 

 with very regular petals, of a beautiful pink. Its growth is lux- 

 uriant, and adapted for pillars. 



Due DE Luxembourg, A., is a beautiful rose, with very large 

 and globular flowers. A singular and beautiful effect is produced
