28 Notes on Roses. 
TEAS. 
Ye Primrose Dame. An exquisite new Tea Rose, as beautiful 
as its quaintly pretty name. Itis a very double variety, with 
petals beautifully curved; very free flowering. The outer petals 
are a soft but distinct canary color, the center a rich, rosy salmon 
or apricot: the shading from the outside to the center is very 
beautiful. 
Mad. de Watteville. Salmon blush, each petal bordered light 
rose like a tulip, lovely color and shape. ‘This rose delights every 
one. 
Souv. de Victor Hugo. A splendid ever-blooming rose, intro- 
duced from France; large tulip-shaped flowers, delightfully 
scented and a very free bloomer; color lovely citron red, with 
beautiful amber and fawn shading. 
Madame Scipion Cochet. Vigorous in growth, with fine, 
healthy foliage. Flowers are large and can be cut with long 
stems; petals are thick in texture; color pale rose, shaded with 
yellow, making a combination of coloring. 
Mme. Philemon Cochet. Has extremely beautiful heavy 
foliage, and plenty of it, being a fine rapid grower and a profuse 
bloomer, the flower always coming on a long stem: the bloom is 
of medium size, semi-double, and a delicate pink, with shell- 
shaped petals. 
Souvenir de Therese Levet. Pure, clear, velvety crimson. 
Each petal shows on the center of margin a decided point, giving 
the flower a clear-cut appearance. Its odor is powerful and 
delicious. 
Princess Sagan. ‘This new rose is a most dazzling shade of 
crimson, shaded scarlet. : 
Countess de Frigneuse. Delicate canary yellow; long pointed 
buds; . exquisite. 
Mad. F. Kruger. Magnificent large buds; of a rich shade of 
tawny yellow. 
The Bride. Beautiful in bud, and in full bloom, pure white; 
outside petals sometimes tinted delicate rose. 
Mad. Etienne. A profuse blooming sort, bearing large, full 
and fragrant buds of a rosy pink color. ‘The edge of the petals 
shades off to light rose; center occasionally shows a rich blush. 
Meteor. A rich, dark velvety crimson Hybrid Tea; a free- 
bloomer and vigorous grower. 
Clothilde Soupert. Very double and sweet. ‘The color is 
pearl-white, deepening to carmine at the center. One of the 
loveliest Roses of late introduction, and as far as its blooming 
qualities are concerned, it cannot be equalled. Of robust habit 
and easy culture. It it destined to become one of the most pop- 
ular Roses for either in or out-door culture.
