THE ROSE AND ITS CULTURE. 



149 



Quern ofBedders. — Dark crimson. One of the best. 



Seine Victoria. — Bright pink, 



Setina. — Pink ; fine. 



Sir Joseph JPaxton. — Bright rose, shaded with 

 crimson. 



Souvenir de Malmaison. — This is in many respects 

 the finest and most distinct of all the Bourhon 

 Roses. It is nearly -white, with a hlush of fiesh- 

 colour in the centre of the flowers ; exquisite in 

 hud, which is long, the petals heing thick and full of 

 substance. Often malformed in the early summer 

 months, the buds and flowers grow more perfect as 

 the season advances, until throughout the autumn 

 and early winter it becomes one of the most useful 

 and beautiful of Roses. 



In striking contrast to this is the brilliant, rather 

 new Bourbon Rose, Queen of Bedders, of compact ■ 

 habit and colour, so brilliant as to have been com- 

 pared to the richest-coloured of all Eoses, Charles 

 Lefebvre. 



IToisettes. — The following are among the very 

 best for the garden : — 



Aimee Vibert. — Pure white, most profuse ; the gem 

 of the garden. 



Of this, there is also a varieg-ated-leaved variety, 

 rather rare, and a stronger grower, known in the 

 trade as Aimee Vibert Scandens. 



Celine Forest ier. — Soft sulphur, flowering in clus- 

 ters ; beautiful in bud. 



Du Zttxembourg. — Large and double, lilac. 



Fellenberg. — Bright crimson ; one of the brightest 

 and best of-Xoisette Roses. 



Miss Glegg. — Pure white and flesh, in small clus- 

 ters, in the way of Aimee Vibert. 



Fumila alba. — Dwarf ; very floriferous. 



Triomphe de Sueher. — Pale rose, large clustei-s. 



Unique Jaime. — Coppery-yellow ; vigorous. 



There are many other fine Noisettes, but most of 

 them will find a place among our wall Roses, as 

 they are somewhat tender. Some of the most valu- 

 able of garden Roses are, however, found among 

 Hybrid Bourbons, Xoisettes, and Chinese Roses. 



Among those deserving a place in every garden 

 are : — 



Abbe Gerardin. — Chaste, light rose. 



Saronne Gonella. — Bright rose, exquisite in form 

 and arrangement ; one of the best. 



Reine Victoria. — Bright pink ; a fine Rose. 



Saronne de Maynard. — A pure white, perpetual- 

 flowering Boui-bon, of great excellence. 



Madame Flaniier. — This well-known, most flori- 

 ferous, fine white Rose, is still one of the best of all 

 for the garden. 



Madeleine is another white Rose, edged with 

 crimson. 



The Itev. H. Dombrain. — Bright carmine. 



Beauty of Billiard. — Brilliant scarlet; a favom-ite 

 old Rose of the Hybrid Chinas. 



Blairii No. 2. — Large, double, blush-pink. 



Chenedole. — Light vermilion ; capital grower ; one 

 of the most showy of the old Roses. 



Brennus. — Light carmine, beautifully cupped ; fine 

 foliage. 



Miss Ingram. — Delicate blush-white, and globular ; 

 good. 



William Allen Richardson. — Rich orange-yellow; 

 striking. 



Fulgens. — Very bright crimson. 



Coupe d'Rebe. — One of the most exquisitely-formed 

 of all pink Roses. 



Chas. Duval. — Deep pink, large and full. 



Paul Verdier. — Light carmine, fine form. 



Madame Barriot. — Light rose, large and fine. 



Vivid. — Brilliant crimson, 



Faul Ferras. — Rich rose ; very double. 



Chas. Lawson. — Almost equal to Coupe d'Scbe, and 

 a good deal like it, but a darker pink. 



Faul Jiicaut. — Rich rosv-crimson, very full. 



Among Albas, or White Roses, as they are called, 

 the following are perhaps the best : — 



Filiciti (Farmentier). — Rosy flesh-colour with white 

 margins. 



Blush Sip. — Delicate blush, with flesh-coloured 

 centres. 



La Siduisante. — Deep rose and full. 



Queen ofBenmark.—'Siosy-^mk, with paler margins. 



Several other classes of Roses, such as the Ayr- 

 shire, Evergreen, Banksia, Musk, &c., are referred 

 to elsewhere. 



Tea Eoses, — Among these we find some of the 

 most valuable of aU garden Roses. First and fore- 

 most among them is Gloire de Dijon. This is hardier 

 than the common China Monthly, and at once the 

 hardiest and best of all the Tea Roses. It is also the 

 most popular, and the most generally grown. The 

 merest novice in gardening must be famihar with 

 that rich mixture of yellow, buff, orange, and salmon, 

 that sweetly glide and softly flow into each other. in 

 this beautiful and fragrant Rose. The Pink Glory, 

 as it has been called, or more correctly Gloire de 

 Bordeaux, is a stronger grower of a deep pink 

 colour, especially in late autumn. 



Marechal Siol is not only magnificent under glass 

 or on a warm wall, but forms a charming wc eping 

 standard in the open, and is the most magnificent 

 and fragrant of all garden Roses. 



Somere Blush, mottled, deeper-coloured centre ; 



fine, especially in the autumn. 



Bougere.—lAgbt pink ; very hardy.. 



Fresident. — Rich rosy-salmon.
