32 HORTICULTURE. 



whenever strong new shoots spring up ; hence, no name so appro- 

 priate as Remontante, sending up new flower shoots. We think 

 this class of roses has been a little overrated by rose-growers. Its 

 great merit is the true, old-fashioned rose character of the blossoms, 

 large and fragrant as a damask or Provence rose. But in this 

 climate, Remontantes cannot be depended on for a constant supply 

 of flowers, like Bourbon roses. Here are our favorite : 



HALF A DOZEN REMONTANTES. 



La Reine, deep rose, very large. 

 Duchess of Sutherland, pale rose. 

 Crimson Perpetual, light crimson. 

 Aubernon, brilliant crimson. 

 Lady Alice Peel, fine deep pink. 

 Madame Dameme, dark crimson. 



Next to these come the CHINA ROSES, less fragrant, but everlast- 

 ingly in bloom, and with very bright and rich colors. 



HALF A DOZEN CHINA ROSES. 



Mrs. Bosanquet, exquisite pale flesh color. 



Madame Breon, rose. 



Eugene Beauharnais, bright crimson. 



Clara Sylvain, pure white. 



Cramoisie Superieure, brilliant crimson. 



Virginale, blush. 



The TEA ROSES, most refined of all roses, unluckily, require 

 considerable shelter and care in winter, in this climate ; but they so 

 richly repay all, that no rose-lover can grudge them this trouble. 

 Tea roses are, indeed, to the common garden varieties what the 

 finest porcelain is to vulgar crockery ware. 



HALF A DOZEN TEA ROSES. 



Safrano, the buds rich deep fawn. 



Souvenir d'un Ami, salmon, shaded with rose. 



Goubault, bright rose, large and fragrant.
