are few or none to equal it in color and profusion ; a moderate 

 grower, flowers prettily cupped and quite profuse. 



Odorata, pure white, very sweet, an abundant bloomer and per- 

 fectly hardy ; stood the winter of '51, without any protection; of 

 moderate growth. 



Ophirie, color orange, orange and pink, pale yellow or bright yel- 

 low, all according to the weather and season ; blooms abundantly, 

 especially in the autumnal months, flowers very double, plant hardy 

 and growing freely ; quite distinct, foliage of a pleasing lively green.. 



Philippart, dark pink, must be well established before its charac- 

 ter is fully ascertained ; blooms in large clusters ; exceedingly hardy 

 and of strong growth. 



Pourpre cle Tyre, not easily to decide whether this variety is a 

 Bourbon or Noisette ; but florists place it where I now do. The. 

 flowers of medium size, dark red or crimson color ; plant of mode- 

 rate growth. 



Triomphe de la Duchere, one of the very best Noisette roses* 

 flowers abundant, large, full, of a rosy pink color and fragrant ; 

 plant strong, but not rampant. 



Vittelina. pure white, fine form, buds shaded with "pink, very 

 double, medium size, growth moderate, very desirable. 



Lamarque, flowers very large, white with a sulphur yellow cen- 

 tre, plant of strong growth, requires a dry sheltered situation with 

 a rich soil, and to be protected during the severe weather about 

 Philadelphia. 



I have omitted many others- nearly equal to the above, such as 

 Solfatare, Du Luxemberg, Phaloe, Boulogne, Augusta, &c. Of the 

 latter I may say that I have not yet conversed with a judge or no 

 judge of roses, in this vicinity, who pronounces it equal or nearly 

 equal to the published description of it. I paid a V. for my plant, 

 and consider it fully paid. If I was now to make out a list to send 

 to my Florist, I would say Cloth of Gold, Ophirie, Augusta, &c.
