AUTUMNAL ROSES. 113 



Washington has bright rosy red flowers of large size and 

 full ; it is sometimes splendid, but uncertain. Gloire de 

 Vitry is a first-rate show Rose, of a bright rose colour, 

 large and full ; the foliage is rather thin. Gloire de 

 Santenay produces scarlety-crimson flowers, large, full, 

 and fine ; it is a little uncertain, but nevertheless a superb 

 Rose. Imperatrice Eugenie is a white Rose with rosy 

 centre ; the flowers are not large, but full and exquisitely 

 formed ; the habit is rather delicate. Jules Margottin is

 one of the best for a standard or a bed. La Reine,

 a magnificent flower, although a little uncertain. La 

 Ville de St Denis is still a good flower, rosy carmine,

 Raglan is one of those high coloured varieties, scarlet 

 crimson edged with violet crimson, that pleases every-

 growth is vigorous. Madame Boll is very different to 

 any other, appearing to have some of the old French

 flower of great finish ; the blossoms are rosy red, veined 

 and shaded with lilac, the form very beautiful. Madame

 large and full ; a good free hardy Rose with beautiful 

 foliage. Madame Furtado is a full rosy crimson flower, 

 very sweet, and one of the best for exhibition. Madame

 reddish crimson hue shaded with violet, very large and
