244 GARDEN CLASSIFICATION. 



bloomed in our grounds, is not at all inferior to the frontispiece. 

 Its foliage arid habit are very good, and it may fairly rank as one 

 of the most magnificent roses. It owes its origin to Laffay, and 

 made its appearance in 1843. 



LAURENCE DE MONTMORENCY is a new and very fine variety. 

 Its flowers are cupped, well formed, large, and very double. Their 

 color is a deep, rosy pink, tinted with lilac. 



MADAME LAFFAY is unsurpassed in beauty of form and bril- 

 liancy of color. Its beautifully cupped form is almost perfect, 

 although of medium size. Its fine, large foliage, and its very 

 fragrant flowers of a glowing, rosy crimson, place it at the very 

 head of this class. It blooms freely throughout the summer and 

 autumn, and its form and color render it, like Chenedole, striking 

 among a thousand flowers. 



MARQ,UISE BO^ELLA is a rose of very robust but rather dwarf 

 habit, with stiff and erect flower-stems. Its flower is fragrant, 

 large, very double, and of a pale rose color. It is a free bloomer, 

 and one of the best of the pale Remontant roses. 



MAUGET. This is one of a new class of Moss Roses, bloom- 

 ing in the autumn. It is of medium size, double, and of a deep 

 rose color, and is valuable as a mossy Remontant. It will 

 probably give rise to an interesting series of new varieties. 



MOGADOR is a very double and superb rose, of robust habit. 

 Its form is beautifully cupped, and its color a brilliant crimson, 

 slightly shaded with purple. The above name is one of its 

 gynonymes, but we have chosen it as being rather more pro- 

 nounceable than its legitimate name of Rose du Roi afleurs 

 pourpres, or even that given it by the English rose growers, of 

 Superb Crimson Perpetual. We think it always better to guard 

 against confusion ; and there is already one Crimson Perpetual. 



POMPONE DE STE. RADEGONDE is one of the new roses, and 

 is a most abundant bloomer throughout the summer and autumn, 

 sometimes almost hiding the foliage with its flowers. These are 

 well formed and of a deep rose color, inclining to violet. 



PRINCE ALBERT is one of the most beautiful of this class, 

 scarcely second to any but Mad. Laffay. Its flowers are double,
