124 AUTUMNAL ROSES. 



reverse of the petals fiery red, large, and full ; somewhat 

 in the style of Lion des Combats. Due d'Anjou, H.P., 

 is a purplish crimson flower, shaded with dark red, in 

 the way of Baronne Prevost, but much darker and very 

 sweet ; the flowers are very large and full, the growth 

 vigorous. Emotion is a good Bourbon Rose in the way 

 of Souvenir de Malmaison, not so large, but with higher 

 and most exquisite colouring and perfect form. The 

 flowers of Gustave Rousseau, H.P., are bishop's 

 purple, shaded with violet-red, of good form and size, 

 the summits of the petals reflexing. Imperatrice Marie 

 Alexandrina, H.P., is a blush or almost white Rose, not 

 large, but of good form and full, very promising. Jean 

 Goujon, H.P., is one of the boldest and showiest of this 

 year's brood ; the flowers are usually clear red, though 

 sometimes shaded with purple, large and full. John 

 Hopper. H.P., is a good rose-coloured flower, with 

 darker centre, large and full, with fine foliage. I saw

 is a rose-coloured sort, shaded with white, very large 

 and full. Lady Emily Peel, H.P., is described by the raiser 

 as " white, bordered (lisere) with carmine ;" I have never 

 seen it otherwise than most delicately tinted with carmine ; 

 it is, however, a prettily shaped Rose of delicate beauty. 

 L'Eclatante, H.P., is a fine bright red Rose, changing to 

 violet-red as the flower advances in age ; of good form and 

 almost full ; colours and habit fine. Le Rhone, H.P., is 

 vermilion, a large, brilliant, well-shaped flower, but not 

 " full " as described by the raiser ; it is notwithstanding a 

 very promising Rose. Lord Clyde, H.P., is a fine showy 

 Rose, crimson and purple, deeply shaded ; the petals are 

 not very numerous, and some might pronounce it a little
