n8 AUTUMNAL ROSES. 



very sweet, and blooming tolerably freely in the autumn. 

 Armosa, which has a little of the Chinese blood in it, is 

 one of the most prolific of Autumn Roses, yielding its 

 pink flowers almost without end. Aurore du Guide pro- 

 duces handsome flowers, sometimes purplish violet, some- 

 times crimson-scarlet ; one of the finest of the group, but 

 rather shy and uncertain. Bouquet de Flore is a good 

 hardy free kind, old enough, it is true, but still most 

 desirable ; the flowers are light glossy carmine, large and 

 double. Comte de Montijo is a pretty free-flowering 

 variety, rich reddish crimson sometimes shaded with 

 purple. Dr Leprestre has brilliant purplish flowers, some- 

 times shaded with red, large and full. Duchesse de 

 Thuringe has white flowers, delicately tinged with lilac, 

 and usually arranged in elegant clusters. Dupetit Thouars 

 is one of those brilliant crimson flowers which one cannot 

 pass by in any garden ; it, withal, flowers freely to the 

 very confines of winter. Empress Eugenie has rosy blush 

 flowers with purplish edges, large and full, and is one of 

 the freest, hardiest, and best. Ferdinand Deppe is a good 

 Rose, with reddish violet flowers. George Peabody came 

 originally from America, and is one of the very few from 

 that country that is worthy of general cultivation ; the 

 flowers are rich crimson, shaded with purple ; hardy, free, 

 and good. Julie de Fontenelle is a beautiful Rose, similar 

 in colour to the last, inferior to it in size, but superior in 

 form. Justine is a free blooming sort, with clear rose or 

 rosy-pink flowers. La Quintinie is one of the finest of 

 this group, but uncertain ; the flowers are bright crimson, 

 changing to blackish violet ; large, full, and of good form. 

 Madame Angelina is a rich cream-coloured flower, with 

 fawn or salmon centre, and is a beautiful and distinct 

 Rose, of rather dwarf growth. Marquise Balbiano is a 

 good, free, hardy sort ; flowers rose colour, tinged with 

 lilac ; large and full. Marquise de Moyria and Menoux 

 are both good sorts of the same colour carmine. Mrs 

 Bosanquet is still a first-rate free-blooming Autumn Rose,
