3 i6 The American Flower Garden 



fANNA DE DIESBACH (H. P.). Synonym, Gloire de Paris. Beautiful 

 shade of carmine. Very large and full. Growth vigorous and 

 upright. Fragrant. Perpetual flowering. Prune hard. 



BARONESS ROTHSCHILD (H. P.). Pale pink. Flowers and foliage 

 exceptionally fine. Globular. Scentless. Growth stocky. Prune 

 fairly hard. 



*CABBAGE (R. centifolia). The hundred-leaf or common Provence rose. 

 Strong, rosy pink. Vigorous growing. Very fragrant. For bush 

 or shrubbery. An old-time favourite. Prune very hard. 



COUNTESS OF OXFORD (H. P.). Bright carmine. Bud very fine. 

 Scentless. Smooth wood, and very handsome foliage. Flower 

 cup-shaped, and one of the largest in this class. Growth vigorous. 



ECLAIR (H. P.). Of the Jacqueminot type, but fiery red. Very distinct 

 in colour. Globular in form. Fragrant. Growth vigorous. 



EUGENE FURST (H. P.). Jacqueminot race. Velvety crimson, shaded 

 deeper crimson. Flowers late. Fragrant. Needs watching for 

 mildew, but is one of the finest, if not the very finest, of the dark 

 roses for New York. 



FISHER HOLMES (H. P.). Deep crimson-scarlet. Moderately full. 

 Very floriferous. Fine imbricated form. Fragrant. This rose 

 lasts longer under our hot suns of June than the majority of its 

 colour. Growth medium. Prune moderately. 



*FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI (H. P.). Snow white. A cross between Mer- 

 veille de Lyon and Caroline Testout, so hardly an H. P., though 

 so classed. Growth remarkably vigorous, and for that reason un- 

 suitable for ordinary rose beds. The plants should be at least 

 three feet apart. They readily attain to a height of over five feet 

 the first year. Flowers fairly full, very large, inclined to flat. Buds 

 often 3 to 4 inches long. Opens well, and blooms off and on through- 

 out the season. The very finest rose of its colour in the class. 

 Look out for a tendency to mildew in continued damp weather. 

 Prune moderately. 



GRACILIS (Moss). Pink; with characteristic mossy sepals enclosing the 

 bud. The best of all the moss roses. Treat like any ordinary H. P. 



JEAN LIABAUD (H. P.). Crimson-maroon, with gleams of scarlet. 

 Full and large. Fragrant. Moderate growth. Prune fairly 

 hard.
