*Bosa JPolyantha. (New of 1880.) 



Mad'lle Anne Marie de Montravel, a beautiful seedling from the Japanese Eose 

 polyantha. 



" I was struck with the large trusses of blooms exhibited. I found a great num- 

 ber of plants of it covered with blooms, and on nearly all the branches numerous 

 clusters of flower buds. They had been continually in bloom the whole season, 

 it is a seedling from Eosa polyantha, (a Japanese species.) The plant, which 

 is dwarf, (being about IJ feet high,) is vigorous ; what is very remarkable, 

 some of the trusses rise about 1 foot above the foliage, and consists of a con- 

 siderable quantity of blooms, both open and in the bud state ; on one I counted 

 sixty-five, a number, as far as I know, very uncommon. The flowers are pure 

 white, and last very long in perfection, they measure about 1^ inch in diameter, 

 and are very double. Each truss will make in itself a splendid bouquet. It will 

 doubtless make a fine pot rose." — Jean Sisley, Lyons, France. 75 cents each.

*Bose, Queen of Bedders, (Noble.) 



This charming Eose was introduced to cultivators by Mr. C. Noble, a well 

 known English Nurseryman. Writing in the Gardener's Chronicle, July 

 28th, 1877, he says: "Queen of Bedders can be seen in unwonted beauty at 

 this moment. A bed 25 by 50 feet, has 22,500 buds and flowers upon it." 

 It belongs to the Bourbon class ; color a rich glowing crimson, very double and 

 blooms from early spring up to frost. 



" It is par excellence a really bedding Eose in every sense of the word, requires no 

 pegging down, supports or training of any kind, and is a continuous early and 

 late bloomer." 



"I have never seen a shoot made yet without a bud at the end of it." — Dombrain. 



" Queen of Bedders is truly grand."— E. W. E., Augusta, Qa. 50 cents each.
