144 GARDEN ROSES. 



well that the majority of these Hybrid Perpetuals produce 

 fewer flowers in summer, and scarcely an equivalent in the 

 later flowers. The difference is, perhaps, hardly appre- 

 ciable in the sum total of flowers. It is this The 

 Summer Roses pay you a good round sum down at once; 

 the Autumnals the same, or a nearly similar sum by 

 instalments. The latter are valuable because they give 

 us flowers when 



" The last Rose of Summer is faded and gone ;" 



but it cannot be said that they produce the splendid effect 

 of the Summer Roses in the months of June and July. 

 Let me not be misunderstood. I have no wish to 

 depreciate the Autumnals ; all I contend for is, that 

 each has its peculiar value, and the Rose garden is in- 

 complete without a goodly portion of these summer- 

 blooming kinds. 



Having stated my views in reference to Summer Roses, 

 I now turn to the Autumnals, among which the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals and Tea-Scented hold the highest rank alike 

 as garden and show Roses, although the same kinds are 

 not always equally suitable for both purposes. Among 

 the Hybrid Perpetuals the following will be found to 

 give very general satisfaction : Alfred Colomb, Alphonse 

 Damaizin, Anna Alexieff, Baron Adolphe de Rothschild, 

 Beauty of Waltham, Charles Lefebvre, Comtesse de 

 Chabrillant, Dr Andry, Duke of Wellington, Elizabeth 

 Vigneron, Exposition de Brie, Fisher Holmes, Francois 

 Louvat, General d'Hautpoult, General Jacqueminot, Glory 

 of Waltham, Jean Rosenkrantz, John Hopper, Jules Mar- 

 gottin, Lady Suffield, La Brillante, La Duchesse de 

 Morny, Leopold Hausburg, Lord Macaulay, Madame 

 Alfred de Rougemont, Madame Charles Wood, Madame 

 Rivers, Madame Victor Verdier, Marechal Vaillant, Mar- 

 guerite de St Amand, Pierre Netting, Prince Camille de 

 Rohan, Princess of Wales, Senateur Vaisse, Souvenir de 

 la Reine d'Angleterre, Triomphe des Fran^ais, and Victor
