32 THE ROSE. 



ing artificial fertilization), I found pure Eglan- 

 tines. I would therefore recommend rosarians 

 to try artificial fertilization on the other types, 

 as, if we could get Tea-scented Bourbons, and 

 Perpetual Hybrids with flowers in panicles, we 

 should change the whole aspect of the rose gar- 

 den, and in a most interesting way modify the 

 rose genus." 



We believe some of the French rosarians 

 have acted on this suggestion, and that they 

 have in a measure been successful in producing 

 roses with these characteristics, as in the two vari- 

 eties Paquerette raised by Guillot-fils, and Anne 

 Marie de Montravel raised by RambaUx and Du- 

 breuil. In August, 1880, when in Lyons, we 

 saw a very pretty variety of this group raised 

 from a seedling of Polyantha crossed by a Tea. 

 The blooms, which are of a very delicate sahnon- 

 pink, are freely produced and highly scented. 

 If it proves to be of good habit, it ^vill be a 

 charming variety for bouquets, etc. It has since 

 been named Mdlle. Cecile Brunner. These 

 three sorts are the only ones of value as yet sent 

 out ; all are remontant, which is not the case 

 with the parent variety.
