270 The Rose Garden. 



Rosa Spinosissima. 



GROUP XXIV. THE PERPETUAL SCOTCH. 



These are Scotch Roses, hybridized probably with the Damask Perpetual, and 

 blooming in the Autumn. The Stanwell is perhaps the only one worthy of the 

 attention of the Amateur. It is among the first to unfold its delicate blossoms, 

 flowering in May and throughout the Summer and Autumn till arrested by frost. It 

 is deliciously sweet ; some say it has the fragrance of the Attar of Roses, but it 

 appears to me more closely to resemble the Provence Rose in this particular. 



1. SCOTCH; flowers pale rosy blush, large and double; form expanded; growth 

 moderate. 



2. STANWELL ; flowers rosy blush, their centres often pink, large and double ; form 

 cupped ; habit branching ; growth moderate. Raised at Stanwell ; hence its name. 



Rosa Centifolia. 



GROUP XXV. THE PERPETUAL MOSS. 



Here we have a group of Moss Roses blooming in the Autumn. The flowers are 

 not oppressed with moss, although they have sufficient to denote their origin. They 

 require the same treatment as the Summer-blooming Moss (Group VII.). 



1. BLANCHE MOREAU ; flowers pure white, large, full, and of perfect form; the 

 buds and flowers produced in clusters, and freely furnished with deep green moss. 

 One of the best. 



2. DEUIL DE PAUL FONTAINE ; flowers deep purplish red, shaded. 



3. EUGENE DE SAVOIE; flowers bright red, shaded, of good form, average size 

 and full ; growth moderate. 



4. EUGENIE GUINOISSEAU ; flowers reddish cerise, changing to reddish violet, 

 large and full ; growth vigorous. 



5. JAMES VEITCH ; flowers violet shaded, free bloomer ; growth vigorous. 



6. MADAME EDOUARD ORY ; flowers bright rosy crimson, large and full ; growth 

 moderate.' One of the freest and best. Raised by M. Robert at Angers. Intro- 

 duced in 1854. 



7. MADAME MOREAU ; flowers rose, edged with white, large and full. 



8. MADAME WILLIAM PAUL ; flowers bright rose, large, full, and of finely cupped 

 form ; blooms freely. One of the best. Growth vigorous.
