AUTUMNAL ROSES. 129 



pillars in sheltered situations. Aimee Vibert, Fellenberg, 

 and Miss Glegg are an exception to these remarks, as they 

 are best suited for borders or beds out of doors. 



THE CHINESE or BENGAL ROSES are invaluable for 

 flowering in small pots or for planting in beds on lawns, 

 as no Roses flower so abundantly and so late in the year. 

 Archduke Charles is quite an oddity ; the flowers expand 

 shaded rose, changing to crimson on exposure to the sun, 

 which is contrary to the general rule, as the sun usually 

 lessens rather than heightens the colour of flowers after 

 expansion. Cels Multiflora is a pretty flesh-coloured Rose, 

 large, full, free-flowering, and very hardy. Cramoisie 

 Superieure is an admirable sort for bedding ; the flowers 

 are rich velvety crimson, not large, but full and abundant. 

 Duchess of Kent forms a pretty enough variety, being 

 white edged with rose ; the habit is very dwarf. Eugene 

 Beauharnais is something like Cramoisie Superieure, but 

 the colour is more purplish ; it is a good hardy Rose of 

 free growth. Fabvier is almost scarlet, and one of the 

 best bedding Roses we have for placing on lawns ; it 

 flowers so profusely and is so dazzling that a bed of it 

 will make a garden radiant with splendour. Madame 

 Breon is a large full flower of a rich rose colour, good 

 and free. Madame Bureau produces pure white flowers, 

 large and very double, is good for pot-culture, but scarcely 

 hardy enough for planting in beds out of doors. President 

 d'Olbecque is one of the hardiest and freest of Chinese 

 Roses ; the flowers are cherry red, very pretty and dis- 

 tinct ; the plant is of hardy constitution, thriving equally 

 well as a dwarf or as a standard. 



No. VIIL TEA-SCENTED ROSES.

THE TEA-SCENTED is the only first-class group that re- 

 mains unnoticed, and this is quite worthy of a separate
