210 . THE FLORIST AND 



bloomers, which they are not, giving only two or perhaps faintly a 

 third bloom with a meagre tiower in the autumnal months. They 

 richly deserve special attention for their tine bold flowers, rich fo-< 

 liage, and luxuriant shoots when on their own roots ; or if budded 

 they make very admired standard Hose trees. But oh ! what nice- 

 ty of eye, how critical the judgment to detect the difference of one 

 half of them. For my own pleasure and gratification I would not 

 give a groschen for iths of them ; but we are so led off our guard 

 by "have you got so and so, 5 / we blush to own up, and buy nearly 

 all, good, bad, and indifferent ; but pray who would grow Doctor 

 Marx, Dr. Margolin, Madam Laffay, and nearly 50 others ; all red, 

 rosy red, dark red, light crimson, and such transpositions, meaning 

 nearly the same in color and character? So be it- I will not de- 

 tail before your thousands of readers such equivocal teims, but give 

 offhand and full in mv eye, a score that will please the most fasti* 

 dious. 



Auguste Mie, clear waxy rose, cupped petals. 



Baronne Hallez, dark purple crimson, fine form. 



Baronne Prevost, rose color, very large. 



Caroline de Sansal, large, rosy blush, pink centre, of remarkably 

 strong growth. 



Duchesse de Montpensier, pale satiny rose, Very fragrant. 



Giant of the Battle, nearly bright scarlet. Is this not the rose of 

 the group? Every one of your readers that wishes a rose bush that 

 is perfectly hardy, bright in color and constant in bloom may chose' 

 this subject. 



Julie de Krudner, a new rose, nearly white, very double, and 

 agreeably fragrant. 



La Heine. I hesitate about this though a most superb flower \ 

 it has a paucity of bloom not altogether to my fancy ; the color too 

 is undecided being a rosy lilac, but extremely large and luxuriant ifl 

 growth . 



Lion des Combats, reddish crimson, shaded with scarlet, large, 

 full, and fragrant. 



Louise Le Clerc, delicate blush, perfect form, very profuse and 

 fraurant.
