Madame Gabrielle Luizet. Silvery -pink, lighter edges. 



Margaret Dickson. White, rose centre. 



Pierre Notting. Crimson and violet. 



Pink Rover. Pale-pink.

Bourbon Eoses. — The origin of these is not positively 

 known ; probably a hybrid between the Bengal and an- 

 other. Although few of the older varieties, if we except 

 Armosa and Souvenir de la Malmaison, are first-class, 



there are many beautiful early and late varieties among 

 the newer ones. The tall vigorous growers are suitable 

 for pillars, &c. A few of the best are: — 



Acidalie. Blush-white, vigorous. 



Armosa. Deep-pink, free, compact. 



Climbing Souvenir de la Malmaison. A free-growing 

 sport from the old favourite. 



Gloire de Rosomanes. Bright-crimson, semi-double. 



Kronprinzessin Victoria. A yellow-tinted dwarf sport 

 from Malmaison.

 a grand pillar Rose. 



Mrs. Paul. White, shaded soft -lilac; an immense 

 grower. 



Sir Joseph Paxton. Rosy - crimson, early flowering, 

 vigorous. 



Souvenir de la Malmaison. Clear-flesh, one of the best 

 late Roses. 



Tea-scented Roses. — Of hybrid origin, R. indica being 

 the principal parent. They are exceedingly useful, and 

 many improvements, both in colour and shape of flower, 

 have been made in recent years, so that most of the new 

 varieties are more vigorous and hardy than the old. As 

 a matter of fact, Tea Roses are not so tender as is sup- 

 posed, but owing to their early and late period of growth 

 their shoots are apt to be hurt by frost. Whether for pot- 

 culture or to train against the roof of a conservatory, on 

 walls, fences, pergolas, or in beds, they are invaluable. 

 Although not so full and firm in texture, or so rich in 

 red shades of colour, as the Hybrid Perjjetuals, they are 

 superior in delicacy of colour and elegance of form. 

 Neither the Teas nor the Noisettes suffer from red-rust, 

 so destructive to H. P.'s ; they are also exceptional in 

 that they bloom continuously from early summer until 

 severe frost stops them. Many of them are exquisitely 

 scented.
