LORD PENZANCE’S HYBRID 
SWEET BRIERS. 
A correspondent of ‘‘ Gardening’’ says of this class: My col- 
lection of these beautiful hybrid Roses bloomed finely this sea- 
son. The flowers are large and clear in color, and single or 
semi-double. In the part of my grounds where they are grown 
the atmosphere was heavy with the delicious scent of the Sweet 
Briers. They are strong, vigorous growers, throwing long grace- 
ful branches which are wreathed with flowers. On no account 
should they be pruned beyond removing whatever branches are undesirable 
to keep. If pruned back like ordinary Roses, they produce very few 
blossoms. Give each plant a 4 to 6-foot long stake and tie up some of 
the leading shoots to it. 
Anne of Gerstein. Dark crimson of graceful habit. 
Brenda. Maiden’s blush or peach; dainty in color and shade; the effect 
of the golden anthers adds a peculiar charm. 
Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper, with a metallic lustre; 
the base of each petal is a bright yellow, which, showing through the 
golden anthers, forms a halo round them; very free-flowering, with a 
delicious perfume from foliage and flower. 
Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely lemon- 
yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate pink; a good 
grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented.

robust habit, large foliage; one of the best.
