two preceding varieties. The rich profusion of golden stamens gives the flower a 

 charming appearance when the panicle is fully developed. 



17. PSYCHE ; flowers pale rosy pink, base of petals suffused with yellow. 



18. QUEEN ALEXANDRA; a cross between No. 15 and No. 3. The semi-double 

 flowers are produced in fine clusters, and are of a rosy pink colour. 



19. ROYAL CLUSTER ; flowers white, sometimes tinted with blush ; very fragrant, 

 and produced in large clusters. 



20. RUSSELLIANA {Scarlet Grevillet) ; flowers rich dark lake, gradually changing to 

 lilac, of medium size, very double ; form expanded. A good and distinct Pillar Rose. 



SEVEN SISTERS ; see Russelliana. 



21. THALIA (White Rambler); one of the best white Rambler Roses. The 

 flowers are pure white and are produced in large clusters. 



2 1 a. THALIA REMONTANT or PERPETUAL THALIA; flowers identical with 

 Thalia, but produced throughout Summer and Autumn. 



22. THE DAWSON ROSE; a hybrid between No. 15 and H. P. General Jacqueminot. 

 Its flowers are of a soft shade of pale rose, and although it is not strictly speaking a 

 Rambler Rose, yet it is sufficiently vigorous to make a good hedge or to plant as 

 isolated bushes. 



23. THE GARLAND (Hybrid) ; flowers almost white (fawn colour in bud), of 

 medium size, double, produced in immense clusters ; growth vigorous. 



24. THE LlON ; is a seedling from No. 3, bearing large single flowers of bright 

 crimson colour. 



25. THE WALLFLOWER ; flowers rosy lake, larger and softer in colour than 

 Crimson Rambler. 



26. WALTHAM RAMBLER (William Paul & Son) ; flowers rosy pink, slightly paler 

 in the centre, showing clearly the yellow stamens. It is in the way of Leuchtstern, 

 but differs from the latter in respect of its much more vigorous growth, its larger 

 panicles of blossom, and the deeper tint of colour of the flowers. The flowers, like 

 those of Crimson Rambler and other varieties of this group, last a long time in 

 perfection, greatly excelling in this respect the single flowering species and varieties 

 of Roses which bloom in early summer, and whose effect in the garden is so fugitive.

GROUP XIX. THE WICHURAIANA ROSE AND HYBRIDS. 



This Rose is from Japan. The first variety that reached us was a Prostrate Rose, 

 with dark shining leaves and single white flowers. There quickly followed several 

 hybrids, in some of which traces of the Tea-scented were apparent. They form
