128 AUTUMNAL ROSES. 



equal though somewhat different to the finest Gloire de 

 Dijon. Celine Forestier or Liesis is a hardy yellow Rose, 

 and one that blooms freely enough out of doors; the 

 growth is so vigorous that it forms an admirable variety 

 for a weeper, wall, or house. Cloth of Gold is the finest 

 of all yellow Roses, but difficult to manage ; it is best 

 planted against a south wall, and pruned but little; if 

 budded on the Dog-Rose, the growth will usually be vigor- 

 ous, and the flowers as plentiful as one can reasonably 

 expect from so large a Rose. Cornelia Koch reached me 

 from America some two or three years ago, and has been 

 most beautiful in my forcing-houses ; it is straw colour, 

 large, full, and globular. Desprez a Fleurs Jaunes is still 

 valuable as a wall or house Rose on account of the dis- 

 tinctness and sweetness of its flowers, which are red, buff 

 and sulphur, the rapidity of its growth and the magni- 

 ficence of its foliage. Miss Gray, or Isabella Gray, was 

 introduced by me from North America, although I never 

 recommended it ; it is a good Rose occasionally, but un- 

 certain, even under glass, and of no use out of doors 

 except against a south wall ; it is, perhaps, the deepest 

 yellow in this group. Lamarque is a charming sulphur- 

 coloured Rose, large, full, and globular ; this also is a good 

 wall or conservatory Rose. Miss Glegg is a beautiful, 

 pure white Rose, of dwarf growth, flowering abundantly 

 and in clusters, and therefore well suited for planting in 

 masses. Ophirie is quite unique in aspect, copper colour, 

 and a vigorous Rose with handsome foliage ; it is in 

 character as a weeping standard, on a pillar, or- against 

 a wall. Solfaterre is a nice sulphur-coloured Rose, large 

 and very double, of vigorous growth, but apt to cast its 

 leaves, from which habit it is hardly to be recommended 

 for general purposes. Triomphe de Rennes seems a good 

 hardy canary-coloured sort, of vigorous growth, with fine 

 foliage ; the flowers are large, full, and fine. The best 

 places for these Roses are in the conservatory to clothe 

 pillars, or in the Rose-house ; next in order, on walls or
