AUTUMNAL ROSES. 125 



coarse. This is one of a batch of seedlings I raised, but 

 we parted company some three years ago, up to which 

 time it had bloomed in summer only. Lord Herbert, H.P., 

 is one of the Beauty of Waltham race, at present in my 

 nurseries only ; it is of quite a new colour, and stands 

 described as rosy-carmine, but blue pink would perhaps 

 more nearly express the colour ; it is a large, full, and 

 finely shaped flower. Lord Macaulay, H.P. (Wm. Paul), 

 is a velvety scarlet-crimson flower of great substance and 

 brilliancy, of good size and form, with splendid foliage. 

 Louise Margottin, B.P., is a pretty delicate peach-coloured 

 flower, not over large, but nicely formed in the way of 

 Louise Odier. Madame Alfred de Rougemont, H.P., is pure 

 white delicately tinged with rose or carmine ; a fair sized, 

 full, and beautifully formed flower, as free as Louise Darzens, 

 and something of the same habit. Madame Brianson, 

 H.P., is a very large, quite full flower, reddish carmine 

 shaded with light red ; form perfect, foliage fine ; it is 

 quite possible that in some soils this Rose will not always

 Rose, globular, large, and almost full. Madame Freeman, 

 H.P., is white, slightly tinted with lemon, of average size, 

 globular in form, and full ; a nicely formed white Rose of 

 free growth and thoroughly perpetual. Mrs Wm. Paul, 

 H.P. (so named by Verdier of Paris), is one of the best of 

 the season ; the flowers are bright violet shaded with fiery 

 red, large and full, usually produced in clusters and 

 thoroughly perpetual. Mdlle. Adele Jougant, T., produces 

 pale but clear yellow flowers ; not large nor very double, 

 but pleasing and very sweet ; the growth is free and it 

 forces well. Murillo, H.P., is a large, full, and well-formed 

 Rose of vigorous growth, flowers rich purplish-red shaded 

 with carmine and violet. Princess Alice, H.P., has flowers 

 of a bright salmon-pink, the reverse of the petals whitish, 

 large, full, and very sweet; the flowers, which are abundant, 

 are usually produced singly ; the growth is erect and free, 

 the shoots almost thornless. Red Rover, H.P., is a fiery
